Urban One Inc. (urban1.com), together with its subsidiaries, is the largest diversified media company that primarily targets Black Americans and urban consumers in the United States. The Company owns TV One, LLC (tvone.tv), a television network serving more than 59 million households, offering a broad range of original programming, classic series and movies designed to entertain, inform, and inspire a diverse audience of adult Black viewers. As of August 09, 2024, we owned and/or operated 72 independently formatted, revenues producing broadcast stations (including 57 FM or AM stations, 13 HD stations, and the 2 low power television stations) branded under the trade name "Radio One" in 13 urban markets in the United States. Through its controlling interest in Reach Media, Inc. (blackamericaweb.com), the Company also operates syndicated programming including the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, and the DL Hughley Show. In addition to its radio and television broadcast assets, Urban One owns iOne Digital (ionedigital.com), our wholly owned digital platform serving the African American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment websites, including its Cassius, Bossip, HipHopWired and MadameNoire digital platforms and brands. Through our national multi-media operations, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African American and urban audiences.

 
Notes: 
 
(1)  "Broadcast and digital operating income": The radio broadcasting industry 
     commonly refers to "station operating income" which consists of net 
     income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, 
     interest expense, interest income, non-controlling interests in income of 
     subsidiaries, other income, net, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, 
     corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based 
     compensation, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived 
     assets and (gain) loss on retirement of debt. However, given the diverse 
     nature of our business, station operating income is not truly reflective 
     of our multi-media operation and, therefore, we use the term "broadcast 
     and digital operating income." Broadcast and digital operating income is 
     not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Nevertheless, 
     broadcast and digital operating income is a significant measure used by 
     our management to evaluate the operating performance of our core 
     operating segments. Broadcast and digital operating income provides 
     helpful information about our results of operations, apart from expenses 
     associated with our fixed assets and goodwill, intangible assets, and 
     long-lived assets, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt 
     financings and retirements, corporate overhead and stock-based 
     compensation. Our measure of broadcast and digital operating income is 
     similar to industry use of station operating income; however, it reflects 
     our more diverse business and therefore is not completely analogous to 
     "station operating income" or other similarly titled measures as used by 
     other companies. Broadcast and digital operating income does not 
     represent operating income or loss, or cash flow from operating 
     activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be 
     considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our 
     performance. 
 
(2)  "Adjusted EBITDA": Adjusted EBITDA consists of net (loss) income plus (1) 
     depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net income 
     attributable to non-controlling interests, impairment of goodwill, 
     intangible assets, and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, 
     (gain) loss on retirement of debt, corporate costs, severance-related 
     costs, investment income, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, less 
     (2) other income, net and interest income. Net (loss) income before 
     interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and 
     amortization is commonly referred to in our business as "EBITDA." 
     Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance 
     under GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a 
     company's operating performance and is a significant measure used by our 
     management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. 
     Accordingly, based on the previous description of Adjusted EBITDA, we 
     believe that it provides useful information about the operating 
     performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our 
     fixed assets and goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets or 
     capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the 
     measures for comparing businesses in the broadcasting industry, although 
     our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled 
     measures of other companies, including, but not limited to the fact that 
     our definition includes the results of all four of our operating segments 
     (radio broadcasting, Reach Media, digital and cable television). Business 
     activities unrelated to these four segments are included in an "all 
     other" category which the Company refers to as "All other - 
     corporate/eliminations." Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to 
     represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as 
     those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as 
     alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.
