Urban One (UONE) Financials
A multiple compares the market's price with a filed figure; it says what the market pays, not how the business is doing. The market capitalization is the vendor's as of Sep 2, 2026; every other figure is from the SEC filings on this page. Not financial advice.
Newest figures come from the 10-Q for Q2 FY2026, filed Aug 4, 2026. Each column of the statement tables below links to the filing it was taken from, and every filing is listed on the UONE SEC filings page.
Urban One (UONE) reported $353.9M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, down 14.0% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Shrinking revenue is colliding with inflexible operating costs, while debt now rests against a sharply thinner equity base.
As revenue contracted in FY2025, operating margin shifted from-16.8% to-45.4% ; the loss therefore expanded much faster than sales, pointing to a cost base that did not flex with activity.
Cash conversion separated sharply from reported earnings: the net loss was

Financial Health Signals
Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →
Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Urban One's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.
Urban One has an operating margin of -45.4%, meaning the company loses $45 on every $100 of revenue. This results in a profitability score of 9/100. This is down from -16.8% the prior year.
Urban One's revenue declined 16.7% year-over-year, from $449.7M to $374.4M. This contraction results in a growth score of 8/100.
Urban One has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 17.47), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 2/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
Urban One's current ratio of 2.10 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 61/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
While Urban One generated $4.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $10.1M consumed most of it, leaving -$5.9M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 39/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Urban One posts a -597.0% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $597 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 11/100. This is down from -60.9% the prior year.
Urban One scores -2.44, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($22.7M) relative to total liabilities ($565.8M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.
Urban One passes 3 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
Urban One reported a net loss of $146.9M while generating $4.2M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.
Urban One reported an operating loss of $170.1M against $38.8M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.

Are Urban One's earnings high quality?
Urban One (UONE) reported a net loss of $146.9M while generating $4.2M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal. This ratio compares operating cash flow to net income. A ratio above 1.0x means the company generates more cash than its reported earnings, indicating sustainable, cash-backed profits. Ratios below 1.0x suggest earnings rely on accounting accruals rather than actual cash generation. Learn more in our complete guide to financial health indicators.
Can Urban One cover its interest payments?
Urban One (UONE) reported an operating loss of $170.1M against $38.8M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations. This ratio divides operating income by interest expense. Ratios above 5x indicate strong debt-servicing ability, while ratios below 2x suggest the company may face difficulty meeting interest payments if earnings decline.
