-
Going Concern Warning
Substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year, contingent on refinancing or securing additional capital.
-
Waiver and Extension
Lenders waived the covenant breach only for Q2 2026, and the $10M Delayed Draw Term Loans were extended to October 31, 2026.
Analysis · MDIA · Technology
The Q2 2026 report paints a dire picture for Mediaco. A breach of the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant has forced $63.3 million of long-term debt into current liabilities. With cash down to $1.8 million and a working capital deficit of $122 million, the going concern warning stands, and the material weakness in internal controls remains unfixed. The only reprieves are a one-quarter waiver and a short-term extension of $10 million in delayed draw loans to October 31, 2026. This is a critical liquidity crisis.
