The E.W. Scripps Company reported second‑quarter 2026 operating revenues of $490,401 (in thousands), down from $540,080 (in thousands) a year earlier as core and distribution advertising declined, partly offset by higher political advertising.
The company recorded an impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets of $1,135,825 (in thousands), primarily at Scripps Networks, resulting in a net loss attributable to shareholders of $1,167,805 (in thousands), or $12.68 per share, for the quarter. Total equity fell to $100,687 (in thousands) at June 30, 2026 from $1,246,092 (in thousands) at year‑end 2025.
For the first six months of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $17,096 (in thousands), compared with a use of $13,858 (in thousands) in the prior‑year period, aided by working‑capital changes and proceeds from asset sales. Long‑term debt had a net carrying value of $2,493,889 (in thousands), and the company maintained access to revolving credit and an accounts receivable securitization facility while pursuing an enterprise‑wide transformation plan targeting additional EBITDA growth.
The E.W. Scripps Company reported Q1 2026 operating revenues of $516.9 million and a net loss of $1.8 million, an improvement from a $3.5 million loss a year earlier. Core advertising declined overall, but Local Media revenue grew 5.0% while Scripps Networks revenue fell 11.1%.
Cost of revenues decreased 2.0%, and restructuring costs dropped sharply to $0.6 million from $4.1 million. The company recorded $30.0 million of pre-tax gains from selling Court TV and two TV stations, helping offset higher interest expense of $57.0 million driven by elevated borrowing costs on $2.6 billion of debt.
Scripps outlined an enterprise-wide transformation plan targeting $125–$150 million in annualized EBITDA growth by 2028, with about $75 million expected by the end of 2026. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash rose to $95.0 million, while cumulative unpaid preferred dividends reached $133 million and preferred stock redemption value totaled $766 million, limiting common shareholder distributions.
The E.W. Scripps Company (SSP) reported a third‑quarter net loss and lower revenue. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total operating revenues were $525.9 million versus $646.3 million a year ago, as advertising declined. Operating income was $37.6 million compared with $121.8 million last year. Net loss attributable to shareholders was $49.0 million versus net income of $33.0 million in 2024, reflecting higher interest costs and financing charges.
Year to date, revenues were $1.59 billion versus $1.78 billion, and net loss to shareholders was $119.5 million versus income of $7.3 million last year. Cash provided by operating activities was $8.0 million year to date, down from $212.4 million.
Scripps executed significant 2025 refinancing: a new accounts receivable securitization facility with aggregate commitments up to $450 million (outstanding $360 million as of September 30, 2025), issuance of $750 million senior secured second‑lien notes at 9.875% due 2030, and redemption of the remaining $426 million of 2027 senior notes. Long‑term debt (net of current portion) was $2.64 billion. Restructuring costs were $2.7 million in the quarter.
What happened: The company saw lower total revenues this quarter, driven by declines in both advertising and distribution, but reported a stronger operating profit. Management recorded a large one-time pre-tax gain from selling a station building and completed a debt refinancing and a new accounts receivable securitization facility to improve liquidity.
Why it matters: The operating improvement and the cash from the property sale helped results, but the company still reported a net loss because of high interest costs, preferred dividends and refinancing-related charges. Its Scripps Networks reporting unit is close to carrying value and could be sensitive to future adverse trends. The refinancing extends maturities and adds liquidity but increases interest burden and produced meaningful transaction costs.
