iHeartMedia reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $884.2 million, up 9.6% year over year, driven by strong digital and podcast advertising and higher non‑cash trade revenue. Operating income was $1.5 million versus a prior‑year loss, while the net loss narrowed to $95.6 million from $280.9 million, helped by a much lower tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA declined 11.4% to $92.6 million as higher trade and digital content costs offset revenue growth. Free cash flow was negative $114.5 million, reflecting seasonality and working capital timing. The company ended the quarter with $135.1 million in cash and $359.5 million of ABL borrowing base availability, for total liquidity of $494.6 million, against $5.04 billion of total debt (net debt $4.67 billion) at a 9.0% weighted average interest rate. Management highlighted ongoing macroeconomic pressure on broadcast advertising but pointed to continued digital growth and approximately $150 million of in‑year 2026 cost savings plus a newly announced $50 million annualized cost‑reduction program.
iHeartMedia, Inc. reported higher first quarter 2026 revenue but continued to post a net loss. Consolidated revenue reached $884.2 million, up 9.6% from Q1 2025, driven mainly by 18.0% growth in the Digital Audio Group and 12.2% growth in Audio & Media Services.
GAAP operating income improved to $1.5 million from a loss of $25.4 million, but Adjusted EBITDA fell to $92.6 million from $104.6 million, as higher non‑cash trade and barter expenses and digital content costs weighed on margins. The company reported a net loss of $95.6 million, though this was narrower than the prior year’s $280.9 million loss.
Free Cash Flow was negative at ($114.5 million), and cash used for operating activities increased to $92.5 million, reflecting interest payment timing and receivables. iHeartMedia ended March 31, 2026 with $135.1 million in cash, total debt of $5.04 billion and Net Debt of $4.67 billion. Management reaffirmed full‑year 2026 guidance for $800 million Adjusted EBITDA and $200 million Free Cash Flow, and forecast low‑single‑digit Q2 revenue growth and Q2 Adjusted EBITDA of $140–$160 million.
