WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban One, Inc. (NASDAQ: UONEK and UONE) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net revenue was approximately $121.6 million, an increase of 5.5% from the same period in 2018. Broadcast and digital operating income1 was approximately $46.3 million, an increase of 4.5% from the same period in 2018. The Company reported operating income of approximately $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $24.8 million for the same period in 2018. Net income was approximately $6.6 million or $0.15 per share (basic) compared to net income of approximately $23.6 million or $0.51 per share (basic) for the same period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA2 was approximately $41.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $39.0 million for the same period in 2018.
Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, "We had a very strong quarter from an advertising revenue standpoint: radio advertising was up 6.8%, TV advertising was up 9.4%, and digital was up 16.8%. Our radio division is also pacing up approximately 8% for the third quarter, with robust demand for national business in our larger markets. We had a tough comp on TV affiliate fees, due to a $2.0 million one-time MVPD settlement in Q2 of 2018. Our digital division continued their turn-around from 2018, with positive Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and year-to-date. Reach Media benefited from another successful cruise event, with the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage posting 12% year over year revenue growth. On the Cable TV business, as anticipated, we invested some additional programing and marketing expenses related to the DL Hughley Show as we continue to create and promote engaging new content. Overall, I am happy with our progress this quarter, and believe we can carry this positive momentum into the second half of the year."

Net revenue increased to approximately $121.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, from approximately $115.2 million for the same period in 2018. Net revenues from our radio broadcasting segment increased 6.2% compared to the same period in 2018. We experienced net revenue declines most significantly in our Charlotte, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Richmond markets, with our Atlanta, Cleveland, Houston, Raleigh and Washington DC markets experiencing growth for the quarter. We recognized approximately $46.4 million of revenue from our cable television segment during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $46.8 million for the same period in 2018, with an increase primarily in advertising sales, which was offset by a decline in affiliate sales and other revenue. Net revenue from our Reach Media segment increased 14.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 due primarily to higher special event revenue. The "Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage" took place during the second quarters of 2019 and 2018 and generated revenue of approximately $10.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively for Reach Media. In addition, the Tom Joyner One More Time Experience, a multi-city tour event for 2019 added revenue for the quarter. Finally, net revenues for our digital segment increased 17.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to increases in direct and indirect revenues.
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of long-lived assets, increased to approximately $83.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, up 3.0% from the approximately $81.0 million incurred for the comparable quarter in 2018. The overall operating expense increase was driven primarily by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, due to stronger performance of special events as well as increased expenses for certain marketing campaigns.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to approximately $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in expense is due to the mix of assets approaching or near the end of their useful lives, most notably the Company's affiliate agreements.
Interest expense increased to approximately $22.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $19.2 million for the same period in 2018. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $1.4 million on its operating leases as a result of adopting ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company made cash interest payments of approximately $24.6 million on its outstanding debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to cash interest payments of approximately $19.2 million on its outstanding debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. On December 20, 2018, the Company closed on a new $192.0 million unsecured credit facility (the "2018 Credit Facility") and a new $50.0 million loan secured by its interest in the MGM National Harbor Casino (the "MGM National Harbor Loan"). As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $9.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its ABL Facility.
The gain on retirement of debt of $626,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, was due to the redemption of approximately $14 million of our 2020 Notes at a discount.
The decrease in stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily due to grants and vesting of stock awards for certain executive officers and other management personnel.
The impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was related to a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $3.8 million associated with our Detroit market radio broadcasting license.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $3.1 million on pre-tax income from continuing operations of approximately $10.3 million, which results in a tax rate of 30.4%. This tax rate is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate of 30.9%. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $15.6 million on pre-tax income from continuing operations of approximately $8.3 million, which results in a tax rate of (187.4)%. This tax rate is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate of (95.0)% and a discrete tax provision benefit adjustment of approximately $3.2 million related to state rate and legislative changes. The Company paid $383,000 and $493,000 in taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Other income, net, was approximately $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of cost method investment income from its MGM investment.
The increase in noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries was due primarily to higher net income recognized by Reach Media during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.
Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 26,171 shares of Class A common stock in the amount of $56,000 and repurchased 899,765 shares of Class D common stock in the amount of approximately $1.8 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 232 shares of Class A common stock and repurchased 760,113 shares of Class D common stock in the amount of approximately $1.6 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased share-based equity awards in the amount of approximately $1.1 million.
The Company, in connection with its 2009 stock plan, is authorized to purchase shares of Class D common stock to satisfy employee tax obligations in connection with the vesting of share grants under the plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company executed a Stock Vest Tax Repurchase of 6,368 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of $13,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company executed a Stock Vest Tax Repurchase of 10,646 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of $22,000.

Urban One, Inc. (urban1.com), together with its subsidiaries, is the largest diversified media company that primarily targets Black Americans and urban consumers in the United States. The Company owns TV One, LLC (tvone.tv), a television network serving more than 59 million households, offering a broad range of original programming, classic series and movies designed to entertain, inform and inspire a diverse audience of adult Black viewers. As one of the nation's largest radio broadcasting companies, Urban One currently owns and/or operates 60 broadcast stations (including all HD stations, translator stations and the low power television station we operate) branded under the tradename "Radio One" in 15 urban markets in the United States. Through its controlling interest in Reach Media, Inc. (blackamericaweb.com), the Company also operates syndicated programming including the Tom Joyner Morning Show, the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the Russ Parr Morning Show and the DL Hughley Show. In addition to its radio and television broadcast assets, Urban One owns iOne Digital (ionedigital.com), our wholly owned digital platform serving the African-American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment websites, including its Cassius, Bossip, HipHopWired and MadameNoire digital platforms and brands. We also have invested in a minority ownership interest in MGM National Harbor, a gaming resort located in Prince George's County, Maryland. Through our national multi-media operations, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audiences.
Notes:
1 "Broadcast and digital operating income" consists of net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation, income taxes, noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of subsidiaries, interest expense, impairment of long-lived assets, other (income) expense, loss (gain) on retirement of debt, gain on sale-leaseback and interest income. Broadcast and digital operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless, broadcast and digital operating income is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our core operating segments because broadcast and digital operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our fixed assets and long-lived intangible assets, income taxes, investments, debt financings and retirements, overhead, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, and asset sales. Our measure of broadcast and digital operating income is similar to industry use of station operating income; however, it reflects our more diverse business and therefore is not completely analogous to "station operating income" or other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Broadcast and digital operating income does not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to broadcast and digital operating income has been provided in this release.
2 "Adjusted EBITDA" consists of net loss plus (1) depreciation, amortization, income taxes, interest expense, noncontrolling interest in (loss) income of subsidiaries, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, gain on sale-leaseback, Employment Agreement and incentive plan award expenses and other compensation, contingent consideration from acquisition, severance-related costs, cost investment income, less (2) other income and interest income. Net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as "EBITDA." Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. However, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company's operating performance and is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business because Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financing, our taxes, impairment charges, and gain on retirements of debt. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our fixed assets and long-lived intangible assets or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the measures for comparing businesses in the broadcasting industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including, but not limited to the fact that our definition includes the results of all four segments (radio broadcasting, Reach Media, digital and cable television). Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in this release.
