(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, 2025.
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 environment has led to broader market uncertainty which has impacted the Company's revenues and cash flows. The Company is monitoring ongoing developments surrounding international trade and other geopolitical events that may pressure the advertising budgets of its customers and could impact our financial results in future periods. The current market uncertainty and macroeconomic conditions, a recession, a downturn in the U.S. economy, or uncertainty resulting from geopolitical events could have a significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flows.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, borrowed $ 75.0 million under the $ 450.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility entered into on May 17, 2022, as amended on November 6, 2024 (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 June 30, 2026, the ABL Facility had a borrowing base of $ 432.9 million, $ 125.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $ 25.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $ 282.7 million of borrowing base availability.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $ 174.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, and total available liquidity was $ 457.2 million. Based on current available liquidity, the Company expects to be able to meet its obligations as they become due over the coming year.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the segment disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the 2026 presentation . These reclassifications had no material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows or the segment disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Update 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).

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.

Trade and Barter
Trade and barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising spots for merchandise, services, other advertising or other assets in the ordinary course of business. The transaction price for these contracts is measured at contract inception at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received unless this is not reasonably estimable, in which case the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the advertising spots promised or delivered to the customer. Trade and barter revenues and expenses, which are included in consolidated revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, were as follows:

The Company’s contracts with customers generally have terms of one year or less. However, as of June 30, 2026, the Company expects to recognize $ 256.7 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 . Expected commissions related to the Company’s media representation business are not included in this amount as they are contingent upon future sales.

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized no non-cash impairment charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $ 2.6 million and $ 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.
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:
Six Months Ended June 30,

(1) Lease liabilities from obtaining right-of-use assets include new leases entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 $ 14.5 million and $ 17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The non-cash operating lease expense was $ 28.6 million and $ 32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

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").

The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were ( 12.8 )% and ( 72.7 )%, respectively. The effective tax rates for these periods were primarily impacted by increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain deferred assets, related primarily to disallowed interest expense carryforwards due to uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to utilize those assets in future periods.
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. In April 2021, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by stockholders and replaced the 2019 Plan. In February 2023 and April 2026, the Board adopted amendments to the 2021 Plan, each of which provided for an increase to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan and were approved by the Company's stockholders at the annual meetings of

(UNAUDITED)
stockholders held in 2023 and 2026, respectively. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, as amended, 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 total relative stockholder return goals, Adjusted EBITDA goals, cost savings and other strategic goals (including debt refinancing and advertising sales reorganization initiatives) 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:

(1) Total share-based compensation expense includes $ 13.7 million and $ 10.4 million of expense from cash-settled awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense includes $ 2.6 million and $ 4.2 million of expense from cash-settled awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in share-based compensation recognized in 2026 is due to changes in the Company’s stock price, resulting in higher expense associated with cash-settled awards.
As of June 30, 2026, there was $ 25.5 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 2.3 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 its 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.

NOTE 9 – SEGMENT DATA
The Company’s primary businesses are included in its Multiplatform Group and Digital Audio Group segments. Revenue and expenses earned and charged between Multiplatform Group, Digital Audio Group, Audio & Media Services Group, and Corporate are eliminated in consolidation. The Multiplatform Group provides media and entertainment services via broadcast delivery and also includes the Company’s events and national syndication businesses. The Digital Audio Group provides media and entertainment services via digital delivery. The Audio & Media Services Group provides other audio and media services, including the Company’s media representation business (Katz Media) and its provider of scheduling and broadcast software (RCS). Corporate includes infrastructure and support, including executive, information technology, human resources, legal, finance, and administrative functions for the Company’s businesses.
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. It is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring expenses, and share-based compensation expense. Restructuring expenses primarily include expenses incurred in connection with cost-saving initiatives, as well as certain expenses, which, in the view of management, are outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise not representative of the Company's operations during a normal business cycle.
The Company's CODM is its 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.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Amendment to ABL Credit Agreement
On August 7, 2026, iHeartCommunications (the "Borrower") entered into Amendment No. 2 to the ABL Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"), the loan parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, which amended the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of May 17, 2022 and as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, by and among the Borrower, the guarantors parties thereto, BofA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Second Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the ABL Facility from May 17, 2027 to January 30, 2029. The aggregate lender commitments under the ABL Facility after giving effect to the Second Amendment remain at $ 450 million.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility continue to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrower's option, either (a) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75 % to 2.25 % or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75 % to 1.25 %, in each case depending on average excess availability as a percentage of the line cap.
The Second Amendment did not result in the repayment of any outstanding borrowings, and all amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility at the time of the Second Amendment continued in place under the amended terms.
