Entravision Revenue Rises as Media Segment Declines

Entravision Communications reported higher overall revenue for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, driven by strong growth in its advertising technology business, while its traditional media segment declined due largely to lower political advertising.

According to the company's earnings release, consolidated net revenue rose 26% year-over-year in the fourth quarter to $134.4 million and increased 23% for the full year to $447.6 million.

The company's Advertising Technology & Services (ATS) segment led the gains, with revenue surging 123% in the fourth quarter and 90% for the full year, fueled by higher advertising spend per client and an increase in monthly active advertisers.

By contrast, the Media segment -- which includes television, radio and digital marketing services -- saw net revenue decline 32% in the fourth quarter and 20% for the year. The company attributed the drop primarily to lower political advertising revenue as well as declines in retransmission consent and spectrum usage rights revenue.

CEO Michael Christenson said the company's advertising technology platform benefited from strategic investments in artificial intelligence capabilities and expanded sales capacity, contributing to the segment's strong performance.

Segment operating profit totaled $11.9 million for the fourth quarter, down 43% from a year earlier. The Media segment posted an operating loss of $0.4 million for the quarter compared with operating profit of $18.5 million in the prior-year period, while the ATS segment generated operating profit of $12.3 million, up 464%.

For the full year, Entravision reported segment operating profit of $27.6 million, a decline of 41% compared with 2024.

The company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $18.2 million for the fourth quarter, or $0.20 per share, compared with a loss of $56.4 million, or $0.62 per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. For the full year, the net loss totaled $79.2 million, or $0.87 per share.

Entravision ended the year with $63.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, down from $100.6 million at the end of 2024. During the fourth quarter, the company made a $5 million scheduled payment on its bank term loan, bringing total debt reduction for the year to $20 million.

The company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share payable March 31, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 17.
