AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to iHeartMedia, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company reports based on three reportable segments: ▪ the Multiplatform Group, which includes the Company's Broadcast radio, Networks and Sponsorships and Events businesses; ▪ the Digital Audio Group, which includes all of the Company's Digital businesses, including Podcasting; and ▪ the Audio & Media Services Group, which includes Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”), a full-service media representation business, and RCS Sound Software ("RCS"), a provider of scheduling and broadcast software and services. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies which the Company does not control but exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the company are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Economic Conditions The Company's advertising revenue, cash flows, and cost of capital are impacted by changes in economic conditions. Higher interest rates and inflation have continued to contribute to a challenging macroeconomic environment. This challenging environment has led to broader market uncertainty which has impacted the Company's revenues and cash flows. The current market uncertainty and macroeconomic conditions, a recession, or a downturn in the U.S. economy could have a significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flows. The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including Federal Communication Commission ("FCC") licenses, as of July 1 of each year. As a result of the 2025 annual testing, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $ 208.5 million on its FCC licenses as of September 30, 2025. During 2024, the Company performed interim impairment testing which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $ 304.1 million on its FCC licenses as of June 30, 2024. The annual impairment test for each reporting unit's goodwill resulted in no impairment charges as of September 30, 2025. The interim impairment testing as of June 30, 2024 resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $ 616.1 million to reduce the Company's goodwill balance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, iHeartCommunications borrowed $ 100.0 million under the $ 450.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility entered into on May 17, 2022 (the "ABL Facility"). This borrowing was executed as a short-term liquidity management strategy to provide financial flexibility in response to recent market uncertainty. The funds are available to support working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2025, the ABL Facility had a facility size of $ 450.0 million, resulting in $ 317.5 million available for borrowing after considering the $ 100.0 million of outstanding borrowings and the $ 32.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $ 192.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and total available liquidity was $ 509.8 million. Based on current available liquidity, the Company expects to be able to meet its obligations as they become due over the coming year. 6 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation. Restricted Cash As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did no t have any restricted cash balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions From time to time, certain companies in which the Company holds minority equity interests, purchase advertising in the ordinary course. None of these ordinary course transactions have had a material impact on the Company. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued Update 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the disclosure requirements for income tax rate reconciliation, domestic and foreign income taxes, and unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company will adopt this standard beginning with the 2025 annual period on a retrospective basis and is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our annual disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued Update 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update focuses on the disaggregation of income statement expenses, requiring entities to provide more detailed disclosures about certain expenses in their financial statements. The amendments of ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures, including timing and method of adoption.

The amendments of ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively.

(6) Audio & Media Services revenue is generated by services provided to broadcast industry participants through the Company’s Katz Media and RCS businesses. As a media representation firm, Katz Media generates revenue via commissions on media sold on behalf of the radio and television stations that it represents, while RCS generates revenue by providing broadcast software and media streaming, along with research services for radio stations, broadcast television stations, cable channels, record labels, ad agencies and Internet stations worldwide. (7) Other revenue represents fees earned for miscellaneous services, including on-site promotions, activations, and local marketing agreements. (8) Revenue from leases is primarily generated by the lease of towers to other media companies, which are all categorized as operating leases. 9 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Trade and Barter Trade and barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising spots for merchandise, services, advertising and promotion or other assets in the ordinary course of business. The transaction price for these contracts is measured at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received at contract inception unless this is not reasonably estimable, in which case the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the advertising spots promised to the customer. The revenues and expenses may not be recognized in the same period depending on the timing of the services, advertising or promotion received in exchange for advertising spots. Trade and barter revenues and expenses, which are included in consolidated revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Trade and barter revenues $ 131,528 $ 87,768 $ 256,888 $ 198,350 Trade and barter expenses 68,215 67,243 166,778 159,210 In addition to the trade and barter revenue in the table above, the Company recognized $ 13.7 million and $ 13.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 31.5 million and $ 28.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, in connection with investments made in companies in exchange for advertising services. The following tables show the Company’s deferred revenue balance from contracts with customers: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Deferred revenue from contracts with customers: Beginning balance (1) $ 195,763 $ 181,883 $ 173,766 $ 181,899 Revenue recognized, included in beginning balance ( 70,328 ) ( 63,013 ) ( 117,940 ) ( 115,463 ) Additions, net of revenue recognized during period, and other 44,172 64,627 113,781 117,061 Ending balance $ 169,607 $ 183,497 $ 169,607 $ 183,497 (1) Deferred revenue from contracts with customers is included within deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending upon when revenue is expected to be recognized. The Company’s contracts with customers generally have terms of one year or less; however, as of September 30, 2025, the Company expects to recognize $ 219.2 million of revenue in future periods for remaining performance obligations from current contracts with customers that have an original expected duration greater than one year, with substantially all of this amount to be recognized over the next five years . Commissions related to the Company’s media representation business have been excluded from this amount as they are contingent upon future sales. 10 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 – LEASES The Company enters into operating lease contracts for land, buildings, structures and other equipment. Arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements contain a lease. Operating leases primarily include land and building lease contracts and leases of radio towers. Arrangements to lease building space consist primarily of the rental of office space, but may also include leases of other equipment, including automobiles and copiers. Operating leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet within Operating lease right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within Current and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively. The Company's finance leases are included within Property, plant and equipment with the related liabilities included within Long-term debt. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company tests for impairment of assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $ 5.4 million due to changes in sublease assumptions for ROU assets related to certain operating leases for which management has made proactive decisions to abandon and sublease in connection with strategic actions to streamline the Company’s real estate footprint. There were no lease impairments recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $ 1.5 million due to changes in sublease assumptions for ROU assets related to certain operating leases for which management has made proactive decisions to abandon and sublease in connection with strategic actions to streamline the Company’s real estate footprint. There were no lease impairments recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The implicit rate within the Company's lease agreements is generally not determinable. As such, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC 842, is "the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment." The following table provides supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the periods presented: Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2025 2024 Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 108,908 $ 112,468 Lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets (1) 20,166 15,542 (1) Lease liabilities from obtaining right-of-use assets include new leases entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company reflects changes in the lease liability and changes in the ROU asset on a net basis in the Statements of Cash Flows. The non-cash operating lease expense was $ 14.7 million and $ 16.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The non-cash operating lease expense was $ 47.6 million and $ 47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 11 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets: (In thousands) September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Land, buildings and improvements $ 332,846 $ 335,502 Towers, transmitters and studio equipment 213,707 207,349 Computer equipment and software 716,932 741,259 Furniture and other equipment 54,075 54,108 Construction in progress 22,573 12,186 1,340,133 1,350,404 Less: accumulated depreciation 903,619 860,561 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 436,514 $ 489,843 Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses in its Multiplatform Group segment. The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including FCC licenses, as of July 1 of each year. In addition, the Company tests for impairment of other intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. As discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation , macroeconomic uncertainty, including persistent inflation and elevated interest rates, has contributed to slowing broadcast revenue growth and declines in margins. These factors have negatively impacted the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models which are utilized to value our FCC licenses, particularly the industry profit margins used in estimating the market profitability. The Company's FCC licenses are valued using a combination of direct and market valuation approaches. Key assumptions in the direct valuation approach include market revenue growth rates, profit margin, and the risk-adjusted discount rate as well as other assumptions including market share, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up costs, and capital expenditures. This data is populated using industry normalized information representing an average asset within a market. The Company obtained the most recent broadcast radio industry revenue projections for use in the valuation model, as well as various other sources to analyze media and broadcast industry market forecasts and other data in developing the assumptions used for purposes of performing impairment testing on the Company's FCC licenses as of July 1, 2025. FCC licenses valued using a market approach estimate the fair value by referencing recent transactions involving comparable spectrum assets. This method considers observable market data, adjusted for differences in signal strength and market size. Considerations in developing these assumptions included the expected impact on advertising revenues given the current market uncertainty, ranges of expected timing of recovery, discount rates and other factors. Based on the Company's testing, the estimated fair values of its FCC licenses were below their carrying values. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $ 208.5 million on its FCC licenses as of September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company performed interim impairment testing which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $ 304.1 million on its FCC licenses. 12 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets consists of definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily include customer and advertiser relationships, talent and representation contracts, trademarks and tradenames and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time that the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at amortized cost. The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets. (In thousands) September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Customer / advertiser relationships $ 1,652,623 $ ( 1,069,848 ) $ 1,652,623 $ ( 967,377 ) Talent and other contracts 338,900 ( 277,410 ) 338,900 ( 245,909 ) Trademarks and tradenames 335,912 ( 215,937 ) 335,912 ( 190,450 ) Other 18,003 ( 15,751 ) 18,003 ( 14,120 ) Total $ 2,345,438 $ ( 1,578,946 ) $ 2,345,438 $ ( 1,417,856 ) Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 53.7 million and $ 61.2 million, respectively. Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 161.1 million and $ 184.3 million, respectively. The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangible assets: (In thousands) 2026 $ 201,563 2027 176,171 2028 160,395 2029 121,622 2030 16,430 Goodwill The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill: (In thousands) Multiplatform Group Digital Audio Group Audio & Media Services Group Consolidated Balance as of December 31, 2024 (1) $ 731,501 $ 311,353 $ 62,302 $ 1,105,156 Foreign currency — — 337 337 Balance as of September 30, 2025 $ 731,501 $ 311,353 $ 62,639 $ 1,105,493 (1) Beginning goodwill balance is presented net of prior accumulated impairment losses of $ 2.0 billion related to our Multiplatform Group, $ 439.4 million related to our Digital Audio Group and $ 41.6 million related to our Audio & Media Services Group. Goodwill Impairment Assessment As discussed above, the Company performs its impairment test for each reporting unit’s goodwill as of July 1 of each year. The Company also tests goodwill at interim dates if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. 13 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The goodwill impairment test requires measurement of the fair value of the Company's reporting units, which is compared to the carrying value of the reporting units, including goodwill. Each of the Company's reporting units is valued using a discounted cash flow model which requires estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the reporting unit, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values were also estimated and discounted to their present value. Assessing the recoverability of goodwill requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates based on the Company's budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and in management’s judgment in applying these factors. Based on the Company's impairment test as of July 1, 2025, it determined that the estimated fair values of all of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values, including goodwill. Therefore, no impairment of goodwill was recorded. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company performed interim impairment testing which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $ 616.1 million to reduce the Company's goodwill balance. While the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and utilized reasonable assumptions to calculate the fair values of its indefinite-lived FCC licenses and reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur to the estimated fair value of these assets as a result of the uncertainty regarding the magnitude of the impact of current market conditions, as well as the timing of any recovery. If the Company's actual results are not consistent with its estimates, the Company could be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material to its results of operations. NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt outstanding for the Company consisted of the following: (In thousands) September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Asset-based Revolving Credit Facility due 2027 (1) $ 100,000 $ — Term Loan Facility due 2026 5,095 5,095 Incremental Term Loan Facility due 2026 1,500 1,500 Term Loan Facility due 2029 (2) 2,129,631 2,145,724 6.375 % Senior Notes due 2026 44,644 44,644 5.25 % Senior Notes due 2027 6,983 6,983 8.375 % Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027 72,388 72,388 4.75 % Senior Secured Notes due 2028 276,868 276,868 9.125 % First Lien Notes due 2029 717,588 717,588 7.75 % First Lien Notes due 2030 661,285 661,285 7.00 % First Lien Notes due 2031 178,443 178,443 10.875 % Second Lien Notes due 2030 675,165 675,165 Other secured subsidiary debt 4,094 5,008 Long-term debt fees ( 7,667 ) ( 8,974 ) Debt Premium (3) 254,317 289,752 Total Debt 5,120,334 5,071,469 Less: Current portion 73,708 22,501 Total long-term debt $ 5,046,626 $ 5,048,968 (1) On May 22, 2025, iHeartCommunications borrowed $ 100.0 million under the ABL Facility, the proceeds of which were recorded as cash on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025 . (2) Quarterly amortization payments of $ 5.4 million (equal to 0.25 % of the original principal amount) are required per the terms of the Term Loan Facility due 2029. (3) The difference between the carrying value of the exchanged 5.25 % Senior Notes, 4.75 % Senior Secured Notes, and 8.375 % Senior Unsecured Notes and the principal amount of the 7.75 % First Lien Notes due 2030, 7.00 % First Lien Notes due 2031 and 10.875 % Second Lien Notes due 2030 was recorded as debt premium and will be reduced as contractual interest payments are made. 14 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 9.2 % and 9.4 % as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $ 4.1 billion as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35, the market value of the Company’s debt is classified as either Level 1 or Level 2. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to our debt agreements. Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit As of September 30, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding surety bonds and commercial standby letters of credit of $ 9.4 million and $ 32.5 million , respectively. These surety bonds and letters of credit relate to various operational matters including insurance, lease and performance bonds as well as other items. 15 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial/contract disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; intellectual property claims; real estate matters; governmental investigations; and tax disputes. Alien Ownership Restrictions and FCC Declaratory Ruling The Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act") and FCC regulation prohibit foreign entities and individuals from having direct or indirect ownership or voting rights of more than 25 percent in a corporation controlling the licensee of a radio broadcast station unless the FCC finds greater foreign ownership to be in the public interest. On November 5, 2020, the FCC issued a declaratory ruling, which permits the Company to be up to 100% foreign owned, subject to certain conditions (the "2020 Declaratory Ruling"). NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted a sweeping tax and spending reform law known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), which builds upon and expands the provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and introduces significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax system, effective beginning with the 2025 calendar year. Key provisions of the legislation include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs under a new Section 174A, and the reinstatement of the EBITDA-based limitation for the deductibility of business interest under Section 163(j). These provisions were made permanent by the OBBBA. The Company has recorded the impacts of the new OBBBA tax provisions in its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2025. The primary impacts of the legislation were increased tax amortization, depreciation, research and development expenses, and interest deductions in 2025. As a result of these increased tax deductions, the Company now expects a reduction in its tax payments in current and future years. Additionally, the Company recorded a reduction in its valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets for the effects of the OBBBA tax provisions in the current period. The income tax benefit associated with the change in valuation allowance increased the Company's effective tax rate as described below. The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) consisted of the following components: (In thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Current tax benefit (expense) $ 4,014 $ ( 23,066 ) $ ( 6,999 ) $ ( 43,453 ) Deferred tax benefit 161,595 2,231 18,996 67,239 Income tax benefit (expense) $ 165,609 $ ( 20,835 ) $ 11,997 $ 23,786 16 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 71.6 % and ( 101.7 )%, respectively. The three month effective tax rate for the period ended September 30, 2025 was primarily impacted by the reduction in valuation allowances recorded during the period due to the enactment of the OBBBA tax provision. This impact was offset by an increase in valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets arising in the current year, related primarily to disallowed interest expense carryforwards due to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize those assets in future periods which was also the primary driver to the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The deferred tax benefit in 2025 primarily related to the FCC license impairment charges recorded during the third quarter as discussed in Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill , as well as the net change in valuation allowance during the period. The deferred benefit was partially offset by deferred tax expense recorded for accelerated deductions primarily related to previously capitalized research and development costs under the OBBBA tax provision passed in July 2025. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 2.7 % and 2.2 %, respectively. The effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the forecasted increase in valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, related primarily to disallowed interest expense carryforwards due to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize those assets in future periods. In 2025, these tax expenses were partially offset by the reduction in valuation allowance during the period ended September 30, 2025 due to the enactment of the OBBBA tax provisions discussed above. The deferred tax benefits primarily related to the FCC license impairment charges recorded during the third quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024 as discussed in Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill , as well as disallowed interest expense. The deferred benefit was partially offset by deferred tax expense recorded for the net change in valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, as well as accelerated deductions primarily related to previously capitalized research and development costs under the OBBBA tax provision passed in July 2025. NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT Pursuant to the Company's 2019 Eq uity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"), the Company historically granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals. On April 21, 2021, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by stockholders and replaced the 2019 Plan. At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an increase to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan was approved. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the Company will continue to grant equity awards covering shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals. Share-based Compensation Share-based compensation expenses are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company periodically issues restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based RSUs ("Performance RSUs") to certain key employees, some of which are settled in cash. The RSUs vest solely due to continued service over time. The Performance RSUs generally vest upon the achievement of certain market goals, performance goals, and continued service. The majority of these awards are measured over an approximately 1-year to 3-year period from the date of issuance. The following table presents the Company's total share-based compensation expense by award type: (In thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 RSUs $ 4,817 $ 5,636 $ 14,162 $ 15,647 Performance RSUs 6,796 2,150 13,542 6,351 Options — 477 198 1,965 Total Share-Based Compensation Expense (1) $ 11,613 $ 8,263 $ 27,902 $ 23,963 (1) Total share-based compensation expense includes $ 7.6 million and $ 11.8 million of expense from cash settled awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense includes $ 1.5 million and $ 2.0 million of expense from cash settled awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. 17 IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) As of September 30, 2025, there was $ 17.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years and assumes Performance RSUs that have not reached their measurement dates will be fully earned at target. Special Warrants Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99 % of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5 % of the Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any foreign ownership threshold set by the FCC pursuant to a declaratory ruling or specific approval requirement or (d) the Company violating any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Although the agreement governing the Special Warrants provides that the Company may decline to permit the exercise of Special Warrants if such exercise would result in more than 22.5 % of our capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, the Company received a ruling from the FCC permitting it to have up to 100 % foreign ownership in the aggregate. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and certifications required under the special warrant agreement.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the segment profitability metric reported to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for purposes of decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. The Company's CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of each reportable segment, and to allocate resources. This measure is the primary measure used by management for the planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and segment management.
