NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1)Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
(2)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that requires entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses including the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, entities will need to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the new guidance.
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which requires additional disclosures primarily related to the Company's income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the new guidance.
On June 27, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets used in the operations of WPBB-FM in Tampa, FL to a third party for $8.0 million in cash. The sale, which is subject to FCC approval and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close during the third or fourth quarter of 2025.

On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Prior Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Prior Notes Indenture”). Interest on the Prior Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Prior Notes are secured on a first-lien priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
On October 8, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”), Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, completed: (i) the exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) of $194.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes (representing 72.9% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Prior Notes) for (a) $184.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s newly issued 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due August 1, 2028 (the “Exchange Notes”) at an exchange ratio of 95.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes tendered for exchange, (b) 179,383 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, based upon pro rata ownership of the Exchange Notes issued by the Issuer, and (c) certain cash payments aggregating approximately $1.7 million; (ii) the purchase of $68.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes at a purchase price of 62.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest (such offer, the “Tender Offer”); and (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of $30.9 million aggregate principal amount of 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien notes due August 1, 2028 (the “New Notes,” and such offering, the “New Notes Offer”) to holders of Prior Notes or their designees who participated in the Exchange Offer, including to certain backstop commitment parties who committed to purchase the New Notes not otherwise subscribed for. The Company used the proceeds from the New Notes Offer of $30.0 million to fund, in part, the purchase of Prior Notes tendered in the Tender Offer.
On the Settlement Date, the Issuer entered into (i) a new indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”) governing its New Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by substantially all of the assets, other than certain excluded property, of the Issuer and the guarantors (the “Collateral”) on a senior secured first-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens and (ii) a new indenture (the “Exchange Notes Indenture”) governing its Exchange Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by liens on the Collateral on a senior secured second-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens, in each case with the guarantors thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to both the Exchange Notes Indenture and New Notes Indenture. On the Settlement Date, the Issuer also entered into a Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, supplementing the Prior Notes Indenture. The New Notes Indenture and the Exchange Notes Indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of its subsidiaries.
As the aggregate undiscounted future principal and interest payments under the Exchange Notes and New Notes were greater than the net carrying amount of the Prior Notes at the time of the debt restructuring, the carrying amount of the debt was not adjusted, and a new effective interest rate was calculated as the discount rate that equates the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying amount of the debt. The carrying amount of the debt was reduced by the fair value of the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued to holders of the Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer of $2.2 million. The Company capitalized $2.6 million in fees paid to the lenders in connection with the debt restructuring, consisting of certain cash payments made to holders of Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer and a 3.0% participation premium paid to the holders of Prior Notes who participated in the New Notes Offer. The Company incurred $6.0 million in debt restructuring costs, primarily consisting of legal fees, financial advisory services, and other professional expenses directly related to the debt restructuring, which were expensed.
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation under a contract with an advertiser. The transaction price is allocated to performance obligations based on executed contracts, which represent relative standalone selling prices. Payment is generally due within 30 days, although certain advertisers are required to pay in advance. Revenues are reported at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive under the contract. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheets. Substantially all deferred revenue is recognized within 12 months of the payment date.

Audio revenue includes revenue from the sale or trade of aired commercial spots to advertisers directly or through national, regional or local advertising agencies. Each commercial spot is considered a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the commercial spots have aired. Trade sales are recorded at the estimated fair value of the goods or services received. If commercial spots are aired before the goods or services are received, then a trade sales receivable is recorded. If goods or services are received before the commercial spots are aired, then a trade sales payable is recorded. Other revenue includes revenue from concerts,
promotional events, talent fees and other miscellaneous items. Such revenue is generally recognized when the concert, promotional event, or talent services are completed.

Digital revenue includes revenue from the sale of streamed commercial spots, station-owned assets and third-party products. Each streamed commercial spot, station-owned asset and third-party product is considered a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the commercial spots have streamed. Station-owned assets are generally scheduled over a period of time and revenue is recognized over time as the digital items are used for advertising content, except for streamed commercial spots. Third-party products are generally scheduled over a period of time with an impression target each month. Revenue from the sale of third-party products is recognized over time as the digital items are used for advertising content and impression targets are met each month. The Company assesses each digital sales order to determine if the Company is operating as the principal or an agent. The Company currently operates as the principal for digital revenue.
(9)Stock-Based Compensation
On June 25, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan, among other things, permits the Company to issue up to 300,000 shares of Class A common stock in the form of equity-based awards, including restricted stock units, shares of restricted stock and stock options, to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The restricted stock units that will be granted under the 2025 Plan will generally vest over one to five years of service.
The 2025 Plan replaced the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2007 Plan”), and no further awards will be granted under the 2007 Plan. However, the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.
A summary of restricted stock unit activity under the 2007 Plan is presented below:

As of June 30, 2025, there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock units granted under the 2007 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% and 144% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, and 64% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

(1) Weighted-average shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per Class A and Class B common share as of June 30, 2024 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split that occurred on September 23, 2024.
The Company excluded the effect of restrictive stock units under the treasury stock method when reporting a net loss as the addition of shares was anti-dilutive. The number of shares excluded was 12,014 and 2,314 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, and 14,102 and 3,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
(12)Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of the Company's Notes, based on available market information, was $136.5 million and $104.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company used Level 2 measurements under the fair value measurement hierarchy to determine the estimated fair value of the Notes.
The Company currently operates two operating and reportable segments (Audio and Digital). The identification of segments is consistent with how the segments report to and are managed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker). The Audio segment generates revenue primarily from the sale of commercial advertising to customers of the Company’s stations in the following markets: Augusta, GA, Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC, Detroit, MI, Fayetteville, NC, Fort Myers-Naples, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Middlesex, NJ, Monmouth, NJ, Morristown, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, and Tampa-Saint Petersburg, FL. The Digital segment generates revenue primarily from the sale of digital advertising to customers of the Company’s stations and other advertisers throughout the United States. Corporate expenses include general and administrative expenses and certain other income and expense items not allocated to the operating segments. Non-operating corporate items, including interest expense and income taxes, are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of net loss.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
General
We are a multi-platform media company whose primary business is operating radio stations throughout the United States. We offer local and national advertisers integrated marketing solutions across audio, digital and event platforms. We own and operate stations in the following markets: Augusta, GA, Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC, Detroit, MI, Fayetteville, NC, Fort Myers-Naples, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Middlesex, NJ, Monmouth, NJ, Morristown, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, and Tampa-Saint Petersburg, FL. We refer to each group of stations in each market as a market cluster. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Recent Developments
On June 25, 2025, our stockholders approved the adoption of the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2025 Plan”). Under the 2025 Plan, we may issue up to 300,000 shares of Class A common stock in the form of equity-based awards, including restricted stock units, shares of restricted stock and stock options, to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The restricted stock units that will be granted under the 2025 Plan will generally vest over one to five years of service. The 2025 Plan replaced the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2007 Plan”), and no further awards will be granted under the 2007 Plan. However, the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.
On June 27, 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all the assets used in the operations of WPBB-FM in Tampa, FL to a third party for $8.0 million in cash. The sale, which is subject to FCC approval and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close during the third or fourth quarter of 2025.
On August 11, 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets used in the operations of WRXK-FM and WXKB-FM in Fort Myers, FL to a third party for $9.0 million in cash. On August 11, 2025, we also entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets used in the operations of WBCN-AM, WJPT-FM and WWCN-FM in Fort Myers, FL to another third party for $9.0 million in cash. The sales, which are subject to FCC approval and other customary closing conditions, are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2025. We will no longer have operations in the Fort Myers-Naples, FL market after completion of the dispositions.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” about the Company within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which relate to future, not past, events. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements, which address the Company’s expected business and financial performance and financial condition, among other matters, contain words such as: “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “plans,” “projects,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “seek,” “forecast,” or other similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results or events may differ materially from those projected or implied in those statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
•the ability of the Company to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, remain listing on Nasdaq and make periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”);
•risks from health epidemics, natural disasters, terrorism, and other catastrophic events;
•adverse effects of inflation;
•external economic forces and conditions that could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s advertising revenues and results of operations;
•the ability of the Company’s stations to compete effectively in their respective markets for advertising revenues;
•the ability of the Company to develop compelling and differentiated digital content, products and services;
•audience acceptance of the Company’s content, particularly its audio programs;
•the ability of the Company to adapt or respond to changes in technology, standards and services that affect the audio industry;
•the Company’s dependence on federally issued licenses subject to extensive federal regulation;
•actions by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) or new legislation affecting the audio industry;
•increases in royalties the Company pays to copyright owners or the adoption of legislation requiring royalties to be paid to record labels and recording artists;
•the Company’s dependence on selected market clusters of stations for a material portion of its net revenue;
•credit risk on the Company’s accounts receivable;
•the risk that the Company’s FCC licenses could become impaired;
•the Company’s substantial debt levels and the potential effect of restrictive debt covenants on the Company’s operational flexibility and ability to pay dividends;
•the potential effects of hurricanes, extreme weather and other climate change conditions on the Company’s corporate offices and stations;
•the failure or destruction of the internet, satellite systems and transmitter facilities that the Company depends upon to distribute its programming;
•modifications or interruptions of the Company’s information technology infrastructure and information systems;
•the loss of key executives and other key employees;
•the Company’s ability to identify, consummate and integrate acquired businesses and station;
•the fact that the Company is controlled by the Beasley family, which creates difficulties for any attempt to gain control of the Company; and
•other economic, business, competitive, and regulatory factors affecting the businesses of the Company, including those set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.
Financial Statement Presentation
The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our financial statements and general factors that impact these items.
Net Revenue. Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of commercial spots to advertisers directly or through national, regional or local advertising agencies. Revenues are reported at the amount we expect to be entitled to receive under the contract.
Local revenue generally consists of commercial advertising sales, digital advertising sales and other sales to advertisers in a station’s local market, either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of commercial advertising sales through advertiser agencies. National advertiser agencies generally purchase advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.
Our net revenue is generally determined by the advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:
•a station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by periodic reports issued by Nielsen Audio;
•the number of stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;
•the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and
Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our radio market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues typically are lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year. In addition, our revenues tend to fluctuate between years, consistent with, among other things, increased advertising expenditures in even-numbered years by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter of such years.
We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.
We also continue to invest in digital support services to develop and promote our station websites, applications, and other distribution platforms. We derive revenue from our websites through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our stations over the internet. We also generate revenue from selling third-party digital products and services.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of programming, engineering, sales, advertising and promotion, and general and administrative expenses incurred at our stations. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
•it involves a significant level of estimation uncertainty; and
•changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no additional material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased $7.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Audio revenue decreased $7.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in agency revenue. Digital revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was comparable to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Audio operating expenses decreased $4.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to continued expense management in the audio segment. Digital operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were comparable to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were comparable to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to amortization of a deferred interest premium recorded as a result of the debt restructure in October 2024.
Gain on Repurchase of Long-Term Debt. In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes (as defined below) for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Our effective tax rate was 21% and 144% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.2 million compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of the factors described above.

Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Audio revenue decreased $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in agency revenue. Digital revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was comparable to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased $8.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Audio operating expenses decreased $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to continued expense management in the audio segment. Digital operating expenses decreased $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to expense management in the digital segment and the closure of our digital agency, Guarantee Digital in 2024.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in compensation expenses.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to amortization of a deferred interest premium recorded as a result of the debt restructure in October 2024.
Gain on Repurchase of Long-Term Debt. In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.
Gain on Sale of Investment. On March 8, 2024, we received $6.0 million related to the sale of an investment in Broadcast Music, Inc. and recorded a gain of $6.0 million.
Income Tax Benefit. Our effective tax rate was 64% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Loss. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.8 million compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and cash on hand. In addition, as noted in “Recent Developments” above, we expect to receive an aggregate of $26.0 million in the second half of 2025 in connection with certain asset sales. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our office and studio space, the maintenance of our towers and equipment, and digital products and information technology. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations.
Our Board of Directors ("Board") has suspended future quarterly dividend payments until it is determined that resumption of dividend payments is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, as discussed in “Secured Notes” below, the Indenture governing our Notes limits our ability to pay dividends.
Secured Notes. On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Prior Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Prior Notes Indenture”). Interest on the Prior Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Prior Notes are secured on a first-lien priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
On October 8, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”), Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries, completed: (i) the exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) of $194.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes (representing 72.9% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Prior Notes) for (a) $184.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s newly issued 9.200% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due August 1, 2028 (the “Exchange Notes”) at an exchange ratio of 95.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes tendered for exchange, (b) 179,383 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, based upon pro rata ownership of the Exchange Notes issued by the Issuer, and (c) certain cash payments aggregating approximately $1.7 million; (ii) the purchase of $68.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Prior Notes at a purchase price of 62.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest (such offer, the “Tender Offer”); and (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of $30.9 million aggregate principal amount of 11.000% Senior Secured First Lien notes due August 1, 2028 (the “New Notes,” and such offering, the “New Notes Offer”) to holders of Prior Notes or their designees who participated in the Exchange Offer, including to certain backstop commitment parties who committed to purchase the New Notes not otherwise subscribed for. The Company used the proceeds from the New Notes Offer of $30.0 million to fund, in part, the purchase of Prior Notes tendered in the Tender Offer.
On the Settlement Date, the Issuer entered into (i) a new indenture (the “New Notes Indenture”) governing its New Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by substantially all of the assets, other than certain excluded property, of the Issuer and the guarantors (the “Collateral”) on a senior secured first-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens and (ii) a new indenture (the “Exchange Notes Indenture”) governing its Exchange Notes, which are fully and unconditionally secured by liens on the Collateral on a senior secured second-priority lien basis, subject to certain exceptions, limitations and permitted liens,
in each case with the guarantors thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to both the Exchange Notes Indenture and New Notes Indenture. On the Settlement Date, the Issuer also entered into a Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, supplementing the Prior Notes Indenture. The New Notes Indenture and the Exchange Notes Indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of its subsidiaries.
As the aggregate undiscounted future principal and interest payments under the Exchange Notes and New Notes were greater than the net carrying amount of the Prior Notes at the time of the debt restructuring, the carrying amount of the debt was not adjusted and a new effective interest rate was calculated as the discount rate that equates the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the carrying amount of the debt. The carrying amount of the debt was reduced by the fair value of the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued to holders of the Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer of $2.2 million. The Company capitalized approximately $2.6 million in fees paid to the lenders in connection with the debt restructuring, consisting of certain cash payments made to holders of Prior Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer and a 3.0% participation premium paid to the holders of Prior Notes who participated in the New Notes Offer. The Company incurred approximately $6.0 million in debt restructuring costs, primarily consisting of legal fees, financial advisory services, and other professional expenses directly related to the debt restructuring, which were expensed.
In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the Prior Notes for a price equal to 65% of the principal amount and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the repurchase.
From time to time, we repurchase sufficient shares of our Class A Common Stock to fund withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units. We paid approximately $27,000 to repurchase 5,072 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025. From time to time, we may seek to repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire our Prior Notes, New Notes and Exchange Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or other transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:
•internally generated cash flow;
•additional borrowings or notes offerings, to the extent permitted under the Prior Notes Indenture, New Notes Indenture and Exchange Notes Indenture; and
•additional equity offerings.
We believe we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next 12 months and thereafter. However, poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could give rise to default under the Prior Notes Indenture, New Notes Indenture and Exchange Notes Indenture, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect, and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025.
Cash Flows. The following summary table presents a comparison of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
