Townsquare Media has released its preliminary estimated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, aligning closely with the forecasts made during the third quarter earnings call. The company expects the full year net revenue to fall between $450 million and $452 million, and Adjusted EBITDA to reach approximately $100 million, both figures meeting the upper bounds of their previous guidance.
The fourth quarter saw significant strides in Townsquare's digital divisions, with Townsquare Interactive achieving year-over-year revenue growth and Digital Advertising net revenue soaring beyond 15%, spurred by national digital advertising and robust digital programmatic business. Consequently, digital revenue is projected to represent 52% of the company's total net revenue in 2024, marking a significant shift from its original local broadcast radio origins.
Bill Wilson, CEO of Townsquare Media, commented on the company's trajectory, "Our transformation into a Digital First Local Media Company has not only diversified our revenue streams but also solidified our position as a leader in the local media landscape." He highlighted the expansion of the Media Partnerships division, which provides digital advertising solutions to other local media firms. Recent partnerships, including a new agreement with a local media provider in two non-overlapping markets, are set to further extend Townsquare's digital footprint.
In terms of financial health, Townsquare ended the year with a strong balance sheet, retiring approximately $12 million of Senior Secured Notes in the fourth quarter alone and concluding 2024 with $467 million of debt and $33 million in cash reserves. These moves underscore the company's ability to generate cash and manage liabilities effectively.
