Investors reacted positively to the results, pushing iHeartMedia shares up 24.5% to $2.03 on Tuesday (Aug. 12).
“Our second quarter performance was solid and slightly ahead of our initial expectations as we continue to execute initiatives while navigating a still uncertain macro environment,” CEO Bob Pittman said during the company’s Tuesday (Aug. 12) earnings call.
At the multi-platform group, which includes iHeartMedia’s core radio broadcasting operations, revenue fell 5% to $545 million, while adjusted EBITDA dropped 8% to $96 million. The digital audio group, which includes iHeartMedia’s fast-growing podcast business, fared better than broadcast, however. Revenue there grew 13% to $324 million, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 17% to $108 million. Podcast revenue alone reached $134 million, up 28%, while non-podcast digital revenue improved 5% to $190 million.
For the third quarter, iHeartMedia expects a low single-digit revenue decline and adjusted EBITDA of $180 million to $220 million, which represents a year-over-year decline of approximately 5% at the midpoint. That $40 million range of adjusted EBITDA guidance shows “there is still uncertainty in the marketplace,” said Pittman.
