Nov 06 2024 21:05 GMT

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2024-- Sinclair, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI), the "Company" or "Sinclair," today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Highlights:

Solid third quarter results, with core advertising revenues growing by 1% year-over-year during a quarter with record political revenues
Political revenues of $138 million, a 31% increase over 2020 levels, which was impacted by $5 million of lost revenue due to late ad cancellations during the quarter
Approximately $406 in 2024 political revenues, which reflects $26 million of lost revenue due to a late geographic shift of existing commitments to non-Sinclair markets
Distribution revenues in the third quarter up 5% year-over-year as 78% of our Big 4 network MVPD linear subscriber base are now subject to new retransmission consent agreements this year
Third Quarter adjusted EBITDA in-line with guidance range
Full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance range reflects a year-over-year increase of 54% to 56%

CEO Comment:

"Sinclair delivered solid third quarter results, as core advertising revenues grew by 1% year-over-year, in spite of record-breaking political revenues," commented Chris Ripley, Sinclair's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This is unprecedented for Sinclair in recent history and perhaps the industry to be able to grow core advertising revenues in the third quarter of a political year. Total advertising revenue was up 42% year-over-year and distribution revenues grew by 5%. We have now reached agreement to renew retransmission consent agreements covering 78% of our Big 4 network MVPD linear subscriber base this year and we are confident in our ability to grow net retransmission revenues in line with our prior mid-single-digit CAGR estimate from 2023-2025. Our industry-leading core advertising revenue trends, and with most of our retrans and network affiliation agreement renewals now behind us, we believe we are well-positioned to finish 2024 on a strong note."

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP operating performance measure that management and the Company’s Board of Directors uses to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and for executive compensation purposes. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing them to view the Company’s business through the eyes of management and is a measure that is frequently used by industry analysts, investors and lenders as a measure of relative operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is provided on a forward-looking basis under the section entitled “Outlook” above. The Company has not included a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s projected Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict including, but not limited to, income taxes. Due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from projected Adjusted EBITDA in future periods, management does not rely upon them for internal use or measurement of operating performance, and therefore cannot create a quantitative projected Adjusted EBITDA to net income reconciliation for the periods presented without unreasonable efforts. A quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods presented would imply a degree of precision and certainty as to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors. From a qualitative perspective, it is anticipated that the differences between projected Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods presented will consist of items similar to those described in the reconciliation of historical results below. The timing and amount of any of these excluded items could significantly impact the Company’s net income for a particular period. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.

In addition to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, below, the Company also discloses a reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA of its segments to its more directly comparable GAAP measure, segment operating income.

Non-GAAP measures are not formulated in accordance with GAAP, are not meant to replace GAAP financial measures and may differ from other companies’ uses or formulations. Further discussions and reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found on its website www.sbgi.net.
