Cumulus Faces NASDAQ Delisting Over Equity Shortfall


Cumulus Media
Cumulus Media

Cumulus Media Inc. has been notified by NASDAQ of its failure to meet the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market. As of December 31, 2024, Cumulus Media's stockholders' equity was recorded at $6,951,000, which falls below NASDAQ's required $10 million. The company's market capitalization has also decreased to about $9.1 million, reflecting its broader financial struggles.

NASDAQ's notification does not immediately impact the trading of Cumulus Media's Class A common stock, but it does require the company to submit a plan by April 21, outlining steps to comply with the equity standards. If NASDAQ approves the plan, it could grant Cumulus Media up to 180 days to rectify its financial standing. According to InvestingPro, the company carries a heavy debt load with a debt-to-equity ratio of 114.68 but maintains a current ratio of 1.85, suggesting it can meet short-term obligations.

If the plan is rejected, the company's stock could face delisting, although Cumulus Media would have the opportunity to appeal to a NASDAQ hearings panel, potentially postponing further action. The company has stated its intention to meet the submission deadline.

Cumulus Media is considering various strategies to correct its equity shortfall, including potentially moving to the NASDAQ Capital Market, which has more lenient listing criteria.

This information was released in an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which included a caution from Cumulus Media about the uncertainty of NASDAQ's acceptance of its compliance plan and the company's ability to meet future listing requirements.
