NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

Townsquare is a community-focused digital and broadcast media and digital marketing solutions company principally focused outside the top 50 markets in the U.S. Townsquare Ignite, our robust digital advertising division, specializes in helping businesses of all sizes connect with their target audience through data-driven, results based strategies, by utilizing a) our proprietary digital programmatic advertising technology stack with an in-house demand and data management platform and b) our owned and operated portfolio of more than 400 local news and entertainment websites and mobile apps along with a network of leading national music and entertainment brands, collecting valuable first party data. Townsquare Interactive, our subscription digital marketing services business, partners with small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) to help manage their digital presence by providing a SAAS business management platform, website design, creation and hosting, search engine optimization and other digital services. And through our portfolio of local radio stations strategically situated outside the Top 50 markets in the United States, we provide effective advertising solutions for our clients and relevant local content for our audiences.

Current economic challenges, including high and sustained inflation and interest rates, and enacted and proposed tariffs have caused and could continue to cause economic uncertainty and volatility. These factors could result in advertising and subscription digital marketing solutions cancellations, declines in the purchase of new advertising by our clients, declines in the addition of new digital marketing solutions subscribers, and increases to our operating expenses. We monitor economic conditions closely, and in response to observed or anticipated reductions in revenue, we may institute precautionary measures to address the potential impact to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and liquidity, including wage reduction efforts and controlling non-essential capital expenditures.

The extent of the impact of current economic conditions will depend on future actions and outcomes, all of which remain fluid and cannot be predicted with confidence (including effects on advertising activity, consumer discretionary spending and our employees in the markets in which we operate).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition as of the end of the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the Company’s financial condition as of such date are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition as of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to assumptions used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets and investments, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for credit losses and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual amounts and results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies since December 31, 2024. For the Company's detailed accounting policies please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Standards That Have Not Yet Been Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional categories of information about federal and state income taxes in the rate reconciliation table and to provide more details about reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires the disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal and state taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. As this update only requires additional disclosures, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires the disclosure in the notes to financial statements, information about certain costs and expenses including, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. The guidance also requires a qualitative description of amounts remaining in certain expense captions that are not separately disaggregated on a quantitative basis, as well as the disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

The following tables present a disaggregation of our revenue by reporting segment and revenue from political sources and all other sources (in thousands) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
	Digital Advertising		Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions		Broadcast Advertising		Other		Total
Net Revenue (ex Political)	$	36,702	$	19,022	$	40,797	$	1,587	$	98,108
Political	49		—		518		—		567
Net Revenue	$	36,751	$	19,022	$	41,315	$	1,587	$	98,675


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
		Digital Advertising		Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions		Broadcast Advertising		Other		Total
Net Revenue (ex Political)		$	34,084	$	18,253	$	44,467	$	1,769	$	98,573
Political		72		—		988		—		1,060
Net Revenue		$	34,156	$	18,253	$	45,455	$	1,769	$	99,633

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized as an obligation until the terms of a customer contract are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control as we satisfy contractual performance obligations. Our contractual performance obligations include the performance of digital marketing solutions, placement of internet-based advertising campaigns, broadcast of commercials on our owned and operated radio stations, and the operation of live events. Revenue is measured at contract inception as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are at a fixed price at inception and do not include any variable consideration or financing components by normal course of business practice. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The primary sources of net revenue are the sale of digital and broadcast advertising solutions on our owned and operated websites, radio stations’ online streams, and mobile applications, radio stations, and on third-party websites through our in-house digital programmatic advertising platform. Through our digital programmatic advertising platform, we are able to hyper-target audiences for our local, regional and national advertisers by combining first and third-party audience and geographic location data, providing them the ability to reach a high percentage of their online audience. We deliver these solutions across desktop, mobile, connected TV, email, paid search and social media platforms utilizing display, video and native executions. We also offer subscription digital marketing solutions through Townsquare Interactive to small and medium-sized local and regional businesses in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including, but not limited to the markets in which we operate radio stations. Our digital marketing solutions include a SAAS business management platform, traditional and mobile-enabled website development and hosting services, e-commerce platforms, search engine and online directory optimization services, online reputation monitoring, and social media management.

Political net revenue includes the sale of advertising for political advertisers. Contracted performance obligations under political contracts consist of the broadcast and placement of digital advertisements. Management views political revenue separately based on the episodic nature of election cycles and local issues calendars.

Net revenue for digital advertisements are recognized as the contractual performance obligations for Townsquare services are satisfied over the duration of the campaigns based on impressions delivered or time elapsed. Net revenue for broadcast advertisements are recognized when the commercial is broadcast. Live events revenue and other non-broadcast advertising revenue are recognized as events are conducted. We measure progress towards the satisfaction of our contractual performance obligations in accordance with the contractual arrangement. We recognize the associated contractual revenue as delivery takes place and the right to invoice for services performed is met.

Net revenue from digital subscription-based contractual performance obligations is recognized ratably over time as our performance obligations are satisfied. Subscription-based service fees are typically billed in advance of the month of service at a fixed monthly fee that is contractually agreed upon at contract inception. The measure of progress in such arrangements is the number of days of successful delivery of the contracted service.

Our advertising contracts are short-term (less than one year) and payment terms are generally net 30-60 days for traditional customer contracts and net 60-90 days for national agency customer contracts. Our billing practice is to invoice customers on a monthly basis for services delivered to date (representing the right to invoice). Our contractual arrangements do not include rights of return and do not include any significant judgments by nature of the products and services.

For all customer contracts, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) or the agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). Generally, we report revenue for advertising placed on Townsquare properties on a gross basis (the amount billed to our customers is recorded as revenue, and the amount paid to our publishers is recorded as a cost of revenue). We are the principal because we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by our sole ability to monetize the advertising inventory, being primarily responsible to our customers, having discretion in establishing pricing, or a combination of these factors. We also generate revenue through

agency relationships in which revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for advertisers that use agencies.

The following tables provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Accounts Receivable	$	51,597	$	60,635
Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	$	9,537	$	9,899
Contract Acquisition Costs	$	8,100	$	7,291

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; contract receivables are recognized in the period the Company provides services when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. Payment terms for amounts invoiced are typically net 30-60 days.

Our contract liabilities include cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and digital subscriptions in which payment is received in advance of the service and month. These contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the balance in the contract liabilities was $9.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The decrease in the contract liabilities balance at March 31, 2025 is primarily driven by $6.3 million of recognized revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, offset by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $5.8 million of revenue that was previously included in our deferred revenue balance. No significant changes in the time frame of the satisfaction of contract liabilities have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Our capitalized contract acquisition costs include amounts related to sales commissions paid for signed contracts with perceived durations exceeding one year. We defer the related sales commission costs and amortize such costs to expense in a manner that is consistent with how the related revenue is recognized over the duration of the related contracts. We have evaluated the average customer contract duration (initial term and any renewals) to determine the appropriate amortization period for these contractual arrangements. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a balance of $8.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in capitalized contract acquisition costs and recognized $1.1 million of amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $1.5 million of amortization, respectively. No impairment losses have been recognized or changes made to the time frame for performance of the obligations related to deferred contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. When multiple performance obligations are identified, we identify how control transfers to the customer for each distinct contract obligation and determine the period when the obligations are satisfied. If obligations are satisfied in the same period, no allocation of revenue is deemed to be necessary. In the event performance obligations within a bundled contract do not run concurrently, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined.

Performance Obligations

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. Amounts related to performance obligations with expected durations of greater than one year are at a fixed price per unit and do not include any upfront or minimum payments requiring any estimation or allocation of revenue.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents the portion of accounts receivable that is not expected to be collected over the duration of its contractual life. Credit losses are recorded when the Company believes a customer, or group of customers, may not be able to meet their financial obligations. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows (in thousands):


Balance at December 31, 2024	$	3,924
Provision for credit losses	1,016
Amounts written off against allowance, net of recoveries	(1,024)
Balance at March 31, 2025	$	3,916

Note 4. Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Land and improvements	$	18,544	$	18,544
Buildings and leasehold improvements	59,792		59,526
Broadcast equipment	113,398		111,253
Computer and office equipment	26,786		26,538
Furniture and fixtures	22,424		22,403
Transportation equipment	18,662		18,638
Software development costs	54,347		52,332
Total property and equipment, gross	313,953		309,234
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	(202,366)		(198,965)
Total property and equipment, net	$	111,587	$	110,269

Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was $3.9 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no impairment charges related to long-lived assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million in impairment charges related to ROU assets associated with tower and land leases in 3 local markets.

The Company had no material right of use assets related to its finance leases as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

Indefinite-lived assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses and goodwill.

FCC Broadcast Licenses

FCC licenses represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total assets. The FCC licenses are renewable in the ordinary course of business, generally for a maximum of eight years. The fair value of FCC licenses is primarily dependent on the future cash flows of the radio markets and other assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue growth rates, profit margins and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company has selected December 31st as the annual testing date.

The Company evaluates its FCC licenses for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Events and circumstances did not necessitate an interim impairment test during three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company regularly assesses whether a triggering event has occurred, which would require interim impairment testing. If any events or circumstances indicate a triggering event has occurred, an interim impairment test of FCC licenses will be performed. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million for FCC licenses in one of our 74 local markets for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses are dependent upon the expected performance and growth of our traditional broadcast radio operations. In the event broadcast radio revenue experiences actual or anticipated declines, such declines will have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of our FCC licenses, and the Company could recognize additional impairment charges, which could be material.

Goodwill

For goodwill impairment testing, the Company has selected December 31st as the annual testing date. In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company regularly assesses whether a triggering event has occurred, which would require interim impairment testing. As of December 31, 2024, the fair values of our National Digital, Townsquare Ignite, Analytical Services, and Townsquare Interactive reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values by approximately 39%, 59%, 149%, and 128%, respectively. The Local Advertising, Amped, and Live Events reporting units had no goodwill as of December 31, 2024.

The Company considered whether any events have occurred or circumstances have changed from the last quantitative analysis performed as of December 31, 2024 that would indicate that the fair value of the Company's reporting units may be below their carrying amounts. Based on such analysis, the Company determined that there have been no indicators that the fair value of its reporting units may be below their carrying amounts as of March 31, 2025.

Definite-lived intangible assets

The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets were acquired primarily in various acquisitions as well as in connection with the acquisition of software and music licenses.

Note 6. Investments

Long-term investments consist of minority holdings in various companies. As management does not exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investees, the investments are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The initial valuation of equity securities is based upon an estimate of market value at the time of investment, or upon a combination of valuation analyses using both observable and unobservable inputs categorized as Level 2 and Level 3 within the ASC 820 framework.

In accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, the Company measures its equity securities at cost minus impairment, as their fair values are not readily determinable and the investments do not qualify for the net asset value per share practical expedient. The Company monitors its investments for any subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same investee, at which time the Company would adjust the then current carrying values of the related investment. Additionally, the Company evaluates its investments for any indicators of impairment.

Equity securities measured at cost minus impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, there were no impairment charges or observable price changes in orderly transactions for the Company's investees.

In February of 2024, one of the Company’s investees announced the completion of its acquisition in a private transaction. The Company recognized a $4.0 million gain on the transaction during the three months ended March 31, 2024, based on total cash consideration received in the amount of $4.0 million.

Equity securities measured at fair value

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $0.2 million as a result of changes in the fair value of a former investee's common stock during the period.

Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of other expense (income) on the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The market price of the investee's common stock was categorized as Level 1 within the ASC 820 framework.

On February 19, 2025, the Company entered into a $490 million Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders and financial institutions party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $470 million senior secured Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan") and a five-year, $20 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver"), together the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Company used the approximately $453 million of net proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility (after giving effect to original issue discount, fees, expenses and $10 million of the Revolving Credit Facility that was drawn at closing), together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes on February 19, 2025, and to pay fees and expenses related thereto.

The Company incurred approximately $5.5 million of fees and expenses in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, along with an original issue discount of $23.5 million, using the effective interest method. The Company recognized a $1.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2025, comprised of unamortized deferred financing fees previously capitalized in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes.

The Term Loan Facility and revolving loans incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility mature on February 19, 2030. The initial per annum interest rate applicable to the Term Loan Facility is based on current SOFR levels with a 0.50% per annum SOFR floor and an applicable margin of 500 basis points (or an alternative base rate and an applicable margin of 400 basis points). The per annum interest rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is based on current SOFR levels and an applicable margin of 375 basis points (or an alternative base rate and an applicable margin of 275 basis points). As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate on the Term Loans was 9.32%, based on current SOFR levels and the applicable margin of 500 basis points. As of March 31, 2025, the Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate of 8.07%, based on current SOFR levels and the applicable margin of 375 basis points.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be subject to mandatory pre-payments in amounts equal to (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of the subsidiary guarantors (other than with respect to certain permitted indebtedness); (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain sales or other dispositions of assets by the Company or any of the subsidiary guarantors in excess of a certain amount and subject to customary reinvestment provisions and certain other exceptions; and (3) 75% (with step-downs to 50%, 25% and 0% based upon achievement of specified first lien net leverage ratios) of annual excess cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to exceptions and limitations.

The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, pursuant to a security

agreement, dated as of February 19, 2025 (the “Security Agreement”), by and between the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as collateral agent.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions).

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and the guarantors to: (1) incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); (2) incur liens; (3) engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; (4) sell certain property or assets; (5) pay dividends or other distributions; (6) make acquisitions, investments, loans and advances; (7) prepay certain indebtedness; (8) change the nature of their business; (9) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (10) incur restrictions on contractual obligations limiting interactions between the Company and its subsidiaries or limit actions in relation to the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-default to other indebtedness in an amount equal to the greater of $15 million and 15% of the Company’s four quarter consolidated EBITDA; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults in an amount equal to the greater of $15 million and 15% of the Company’s four quarter consolidated EBITDA; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation; and change of control.

The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, based on available market information, the estimated fair value of the Term Loan was $438.3 million. The Company used Level 2 measurements under the fair value measurement hierarchy established under Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).

Annual maturities of the Company's long-term debt as of March 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):


2025 (remainder)	$	8,813
2026	11,750
2027	13,513
2028	$	17,625
2029	$	22,325
Thereafter	402,974
	$	477,000

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 66.8% and 11.8%, respectively.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards and an increase in non-deductible compensation costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period, and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to the statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to certain non-deductible items, state and local income taxes and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 259,096 stock units with a vesting period of three years and 479,749 stock units that vested at the grant date. The fair values of these restricted stock units were equal to the closing share price on the date of grant.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 331,087 restricted stock units with a vesting period of three years and grant date fair values ranging from $6.75 - $7.47. The stock units contain market conditions whereby the stock units will vest subject to the achievement of a specified VWAP, subject to continued employment or service through the end of the performance period as observed and summarized below:


VWAP over a period of 20 consecutive trading days of the three-year performance period
	VWAP	Number of Shares that Vest
	$9.98	110,351
	$10.43	110,351
	$10.88	110,385

			Monte Carlo Model

Expected volatility			42.0%
Risk free interest rate			4.46%
Expected dividend yield			8.7%

The expected volatility was based on market conditions of the Company. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant which most closely corresponds to the vesting period of the restricted stock units.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, a total of 35,288 shares of Class A common stock were issued under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP").

Repurchases of common stock under the repurchase plan may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations. Any such repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions, and may be funded from cash on hand, available borrowings or proceeds from potential debt or other capital markets sources.

On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase plan, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $50 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock over a three-year period (the "2024 Stock Repurchase Plan").

Stock Bonus Program

In April of 2024, the Company launched a stock bonus program that offered certain employees the option to receive their 2024 annual incentive compensation in the form of the Company's Class A common stock. The incentive compensation to be paid to each employee was fixed at the time of election to participate in the program and the number of shares to be issued was determined based on the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the settlement date in late 2024 or during the first quarter of 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, a total of $0.9 million of expense was recognized as a component of stock-based compensation in connection with the stock bonus program. A total of 566,359 shares were granted under the Stock Bonus Program for the performance year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 10. Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is generally calculated as income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is generally calculated as income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents. Stock-based compensation awards that are out-of-the-money and stock options and restricted stock units in which the market-based performance criteria have not been met as of the end of the respective reporting period are omitted from the calculation of Diluted EPS.

The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in legal proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. The Company believes that we have valid defenses to such proceedings and claims and intends to vigorously defend the Company. Management does not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company records a loss contingency if the potential loss from a proceeding or claim is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated or a range of loss can be determined. The Company provides disclosure when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred in excess of any recorded provision. Significant judgment is required in these determinations. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses prior determinations and may change its estimates. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance.

Note 12. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are organized internally by type of products and services provided. Based on the information reviewed by the Company's CEO in his capacity as Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), the Company has identified three segments: Digital Advertising, Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, and Broadcast Advertising. The remainder of our business is reported in the Other category.

The Company operates in one geographic area. The Company's assets and liabilities are managed within markets outside the top 50 across the United States where the Company conducts its business and are reported internally in the same manner as the Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company's CEO or included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Intangible assets consist principally of FCC broadcast licenses and other definite-lived intangible assets and primarily support the Company’s Broadcast Advertising segment. For further information see Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.

Segment profit is the primary measure the CODM utilizes in assessing segment performance and determining the allocation of resources. Segment Profit is defined as revenue less direct operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. The CODM is the primary individual in control of resource allocation, and the allocation determinations are made in consultation with each respective segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with the CODM to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The most significant allocation determinations made by the CODM pertain to sales accounts and support, capital spending and employee resource allocation. Segment profit is used to monitor budgeted versus actual results and is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing compensation. These determinations are made through regular reviews throughout the year, and on a weekly basis, the CODM considers actual results, as compared to budget and the prior period, when evaluating the allocation of resources.

Direct operating expenses represents our significant expense category and aligns with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Segment profit excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments' underlying operating performance, and primarily includes expenses related to corporate stewardship and administration activities, transaction related costs and non-cash impairment charges.

Note About Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements often discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “can,” “can have,” “likely,” the negatives thereof and other words and terms. Actual events or results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include the impact of general economic conditions in the United States, or in the specific markets in which we currently do business including supply chain disruptions, inflation, labor shortages, tariffs, and the effect on advertising activity, industry conditions, including existing competition and future competitive technologies, the popularity of radio as a broadcasting and advertising medium, cancellations, disruptions or postponements of advertising schedules in response to national or world events, our ability to develop and maintain digital technologies and hire and retain technical and sales talent, our dependence on key personnel, our capital expenditure requirements, our continued ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, and consummate and integrate any future acquisitions, legislative or regulatory requirements, risks and uncertainties relating to our leverage and changes in interest rates, our ability to obtain financing at times, in amounts and at rates considered appropriate by us, our ability to access the capital markets as and when needed and on terms that we consider favorable to us and other factors discussed in this section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and under “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as other risks discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. The cautionary statements referred to in this section also should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof or as of the date specified herein. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

This diversification allows us to provide superior solutions to our advertisers and engaging experiences for our audience, underpins our growth strategy and, we believe, helps to mitigate the risks associated with advertising revenue dependency.

The Company has identified three segments, which are Digital Advertising, Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, and Broadcast Advertising, and the remainder of our business is reported in an Other category.

Digital Advertising

Our Digital Advertising segment, marketed externally as Townsquare Ignite, is a combination of our proprietary digital programmatic advertising platform and our owned and operated digital properties, and an in-house demand and data management platform collecting valuable first party data.

Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions

Our Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions segment encompasses Townsquare Interactive, our subscription digital marketing solutions business. Townsquare Interactive offers digital marketing solutions, on a subscription basis, to SMBs in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including but importantly not limited to the markets in which we operate radio stations. We offer a variety of digital marketing solutions, which enables SMBs to choose the optimal features for their specific business.

Broadcast Advertising

Our Broadcast Advertising segment includes our portfolio of 342 local terrestrial radio stations. Our primary source of Broadcast Advertising net revenue is the sale of advertising on our local radio stations primarily to local and regional spot advertisers and, to a lesser extent, national spot and national network advertisers. We believe we are the largest and best-capitalized owner and operator of radio stations focused solely on markets outside the top 50 markets in the United States. Given the stability of radio’s audience, its broad reach and its relatively low cost as compared to competing advertising media such as television, we believe radio continues to offer an attractive value proposition to advertisers. The price point for radio advertising on a cost per thousand basis is lower than most other local media that deliver similar scale. This makes radio more affordable and accessible for the type of small and mid-sized businesses typically found in our local markets outside the top 50 markets in the U.S.

Other

We report the remainder of our revenue in the Other category, and it includes revenue from our live events, which includes concerts, expositions, and other experiential events. Our live events portfolio includes iconic local events such as WYRK’s Taste of Country, the Boise Music Festival, the Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival and Taste of Fort Collins. Our primary source of live events net revenue is ticket sales. Our live events also generate revenue through the sale of sponsorships, food and other concessions, merchandise and other ancillary products and services.

Overall

We generate a majority of our advertising revenue by selling directly to local advertisers, as well as to local and regional advertising agencies which affords us the opportunity to better present our products, cross-sell products and more directly influence their advertising and marketing expenditure decisions. A significant percentage of our advertising revenue is generated from the sale of advertising to the automotive, financial services, health services, entertainment, and retail industries.

Our most significant expenses are sales personnel, programming, digital, marketing and promotional, engineering, and general and administrative expenses. We strive to control these expenses by closely monitoring and managing each of our local markets and through efficiencies gained from the centralization of finance, accounting, legal and human resources functions and management information systems. We also use our scale and diversified geographic portfolio to negotiate favorable rates with vendors where feasible.

A portion of our expenses are variable. These variable expenses primarily relate to sales costs, such as commissions and inventory costs, as well as certain programming costs, such as music license fees, and certain costs related to production. Other programming, digital, engineering and general and administrative expenses are primarily fixed costs.

Seasonality

Our revenue varies throughout the year. Typically, we expect that our first calendar quarter will produce the lowest net revenue for the year, as advertising expenditures generally decline following the winter holidays. During even-numbered years, net revenue generally includes increased advertising expenditures by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups. Political spending is typically highest during the fourth quarter. Our operating results in any period may be affected by the incurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that typically do not have an effect on net revenue generation until future periods, if at all.

Macroeconomic Indicators

Current economic challenges, including high and sustained inflation and interest rates, and proposed and enacted tariffs have caused and could continue to cause economic uncertainty and volatility. These factors could result in advertising and subscription digital marketing solutions cancellations, declines in the purchase of new advertising by our clients, declines in the addition of new digital marketing solutions subscribers, and increases to our operating expenses. We monitor economic conditions closely, and in response to observed or anticipated reductions in revenue, we may institute precautionary measures to address the potential impact to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and liquidity, including wage reduction efforts and controlling non-essential capital expenditures.

OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE

Changes in Our Business

Recent Developments

Refer to Note 7, Long-Term Debt, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Credit Agreement.

Highlights of Our Financial Performance

Certain key financial developments in our business for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 are summarized below:

•Net revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 1.0%, primarily driven by a $4.1 million decrease in our Broadcast Advertising net revenue partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in our Digital Advertising net revenue and a $0.8 million increase in our Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net revenue.

•Excluding political revenue of $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, net revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 0.5%, to $98.1 million. Broadcast Advertising net revenue

decreased $3.7 million, or 8.3%, to $40.8 million, and Digital Advertising net revenue increased $2.6 million, or 7.7%, to $36.7 million.

•Operating income increased $0.5 million, or 7.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in non-cash impairment charges and a $1.1 million decrease in direct operating expenses, partially offset by the $1.0 million decrease in net revenue and a $1.3 million increase in stock-based compensation.

•Digital Advertising segment reported operating income of $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $0.8 million as compared to operating income of $6.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increase is primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in net revenue partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in direct operating expenses. Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions reported operating income of $5.7 million, an increase of $1.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a $0.8 million increase in net revenue and a $0.4 million decrease in direct operating expenses. Broadcast Advertising reported operating income of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, essentially flat to operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $1.0 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Our Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $4.1 million, or 9.1%, due to decreases in the purchases of advertising by our clients. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our Digital Advertising net revenue of $2.6 million, or 7.6%, and an increase in our Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net revenue of $0.8 million, or 4.2%, as compared to the same period in 2024, due to purchases of new advertising.

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $1.1 million, or 1.4%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Our Broadcast Advertising direct operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million, or 6.6%, primarily driven by lower compensation and music license fees. Our Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions direct operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 2.7%, due to lower compensation, partially offset by higher software costs, each as compared to the same period a year ago. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 6.5%, increase in our Digital Advertising direct operating expenses due to higher compensation and inventory costs, partially offset by lower bad debt as compared to the same period in 2024.

Segment Profit

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $0.1 million, or 0.5%, when compared with the same period in 2024, essentially flat. Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions segment profit increased $1.1 million, or 22.2% as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increase in revenue and decrease in compensation discussed above, which was partially offset by the increase in software costs. Our Digital Advertising segment profit increased $0.8 million, or 12.0%, due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by higher compensation and inventory costs. Broadcast Advertising segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $1.8 million, or 17.8%, as compared to 2024, primarily due to the decrease in net revenue.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $1.3 million, or 45.9%, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to $0.9 million of expense recognized for the stock bonus program and grants issued during the first quarter of 2025. For further discussion, see Note 9, Stockholders' Deficit, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairment of Intangible Assets, Investments, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

The Company incurred no impairment charges related to its FCC licenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to impairment charges of $1.3 million in one of our 74 local markets in the same period a year ago.

Interest Expense, net

Interest income	—		(424)
Interest expense, net	$	10,239	$	9,031

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $1.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt. The $1.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt is comprised of the write-off of $1.5 million of unamortized deferred financing fees previously capitalized in connection with the 2026 Notes. For further discussion, see Note 7, Long-Term Debt, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other expense (income), net

In February of 2024, one of the Company’s investees announced the completion of its acquisition. The Company recognized a $4.0 million gain on this transaction during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(Benefit) provision for income taxes

We recognized a benefit for income taxes of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to an income tax provision of $0.2 million for the same period in 2024. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 66.8% and 11.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate and income tax provision is driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards and an increase in non-deductible compensation costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Our effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to statutory rates in the jurisdictions where we have operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily relates to certain non-deductible items, state and local income taxes and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our change in cash and cash equivalents (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,528	$	56,600
Restricted cash	323		505

Cash (used in) provided by operating activities	(66)		1,671
Cash used in investing activities	(4,344)		(281)
Cash used in financing activities	(22,729)		(5,834)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(27,139)	$	(4,444)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.7 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to net changes in working capital balances, particularly accrued expenses and accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash proceeds of $4.0 million related to the acquisition of one of the Company's investments in 2024 that did not reoccur in 2025.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of $467.4 million of principal amount of the 2026 Notes, offset by proceeds from the Term Loan of $441.8 million, net of fees and expenses, and net borrowings on the Revolver of $7.0 million. This activity was partially offset by $4.3 million for repurchases of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.4 million of shares repurchased to cover employee tax withholdings on restricted stock that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Sources of Liquidity and Anticipated Cash Requirements

We fund our working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from our operating, investing, and financing activities. Based on current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from our operating, investing, and financing activities will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, and other funding requirements for at least one year from the date of this report. Future capital requirements may be materially different than those currently planned in our budgeting and forecasting activities and depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. We have focused on and will continue to monitor our liquidity in response to current and future economic challenges and uncertainty.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $448.4 million of outstanding indebtedness, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs of $28.6 million.

Based on the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, as of March 31, 2025, we expect our debt service requirements to be approximately $55.8 million over the next twelve months. See Note 7, Long-Term Debt, in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2025 we had $5.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $51.6 million of receivables from customers, which historically have had an average collection cycle of approximately 50 days.

On October 28, 2024, the board of directors approved a dividend of $0.1975 per share. The dividend of $3.1 million was paid to holders of record as of January 21, 2025, on February 1, 2025.

On March 13, 2025, the board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend of $3.2 million was paid to holders of record as of April 17, 2025, on May 1, 2025.

Our anticipated uses of cash in the near term include working capital needs, interest payments, dividend payments, excess cashflow payments that may be required under the terms of the Credit Agreement, other obligations, and capital expenditures. The Company believes that the cash generated by its operations should be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments, dividend payments, other obligations, capital expenditures, and to comply with financial covenants under our debt agreements, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow, which are in turn subject to prevailing economic conditions, increases or decreases in advertising spending, changes in the highly competitive industry in which we operate, which may be rapid, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, while the incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations. Such debt instruments could introduce covenants that might restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

Additionally, on a continuing basis, we evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions and divestitures to enhance our strategic and competitive position as well as our financial performance. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

We closely monitor the impact of capital and credit market conditions on our liquidity and our ability to refinance in the future. We also routinely monitor the changes in the financial condition of our customers and the potential impact on our results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant estimates, including those related to determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and any such changes will be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

We believe the accounting policies and estimates discussed within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as filed in such report.

Recent Accounting Standards

For a discussion of accounting standards updates that have been adopted or will be adopted in the future, please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with the assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this review, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. An evaluation of effectiveness is subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may decrease over time.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any control system, including the potential for human error and the possible circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Additionally, judgments in decision-making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. An effective control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the system are adequately met. Accordingly, the management of the Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the control system can prevent or detect all error or fraud. Finally, projections of any evaluation or assessment of effectiveness of a control system to future periods are subject to the risks that, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in an entity’s operating environment or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There is no current material pending litigation to which we are a party and no material legal proceedings were terminated, settled or otherwise resolved during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various regulatory proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters related to intellectual property, personal injury, employee, or other matters. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. However, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding known material risks that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition to these risks, other risks that we presently do not consider material, or other unknown risks, could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in a future period.
