E.W. Scripps Reports Q1 Revenue Decline, $18M Net Loss
Summary
E.W. Scripps reported a 1.4% year-over-year decline in Q1 revenue to $517 million, alongside a net loss of $18 million, or $0.20 per share. This continues a trend of financial challenges, following a substantial net loss and revenue decline reported in the company's 2025 10-K. While the company generated $123 million from TV station sales and expects low single-digit growth in Q2 Local Media revenue, its Scripps Networks segment is projected to decline by about 10% in Q2. The company is implementing cost savings and revenue growth initiatives, targeting $125-$150 million in annualized enterprise EBITDA growth by 2028. Traders will be watching for progress on these initiatives and the performance of the Networks segment.
