Grosse Pointe Farms, MI – November 6, 2025 – Saga Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq - SGA) (the “Company” or “Saga”) today reported that net revenue decreased 1.8% to $28.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to $28.7 million for the same period last year. Station operating expense increased $2.0 million or 8.7% for the quarter to $24.7 million compared to the same period last year. This was primarily the result of an industry wide settlement with two music licensing organizations (ASCAP and BMI) resulting in a retroactive rate adjustment of approximately $2.1 million covering the period from January 1, 2022 to the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Station operating expense would have decreased $120 thousand or 0.5% for the quarter without this settlement. For the quarter, the Company had an operating loss of $626 thousand compared to operating income of $1.6 million for the same quarter last year and station operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Without the settlement the operating loss would have been operating income of $1.5 million compared to $1.6 million and station operating income would have been $5.6 compared to $6.0 million for the same quarter last year. Capital expenditures were $600 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 which was flat with the same period last year. The Company had a net loss of $532 thousand for the quarter compared to net income of $1.3 million for the third quarter last year. Diluted loss per share was $0.08 in the third quarter of 2025. The Company would have reported net income for the quarter without the music licensing settlement.
Net revenue decreased 3.7% to $80.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to $83.7 million for the same period last year. Station operating expense increased $390 thousand or 0.6% for the nine-month period to $68.9 million compared to the same period last year. For the nine-month period, we had an operating loss of $1.5 million compared to operating income of $1.4 million and station operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased 23.0% to $11.7 million. Capital expenditures for the nine-months were $2.6 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period last year. We had a net loss of $979 thousand for the nine-month period compared to net income of $2.2 million for the same period last year. Diluted loss per share was $0.15 for the nine-month period in 2025. Without the impact of the music licensing settlement mentioned above the Company would have reported a reduction in station operating expense of $1.7 million. Operating income would have been $574 thousand and station operating income would have decreased 9.2% to $13.8 million for the nine-month period.
On a same station basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 net revenue decreased 4.8% to $78.8 million from last year and station operating expense decreased 0.8% to $67.1 million. Without the music licensing settlement station operating expense would have decreased 3.9% or $2.6 million for the nine-month period.
The Company had $73 thousand in gross political revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to $677 thousand for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 gross political revenue was $395 thousand compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year. Gross revenue would have been flat for the three-month period and down 3.2% for the nine-month period excluding political revenue when compared to the same periods last year.
On October 17, 2025 the Company entered into an agreement to sell telecommunications towers and related property and other assets located at 22 sites for a total cash purchase price of approximately $10.7 million. Sales proceeds, net of brokerage commissions and certain adjustments in the amount of approximately $8.7 million were paid to the Company, with the remaining cash proceeds of $1.8 million (representing 4 sites) being deposited into an escrow account pending final landlord consents to assign the ground leases where the towers are located.
The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on September 19, 2025. The aggregate amount of the quarterly dividend was approximately $1.6 million. To date Saga has paid over $140 million in dividends to shareholders since the first special dividend was paid in 2012. The Company intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends in the future. Consistent with its strategic objective of maintaining a strong balance sheet and with returning value to our shareholders, the Board of Directors will also continue to consider declaring special cash dividends, variable dividends and stock buybacks in the future.
The Company’s balance sheet reflects $26.3 million in cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2025 and $34.2 million as of November 3, 2025. The Company expects to spend approximately $3.25 – $3.75 million for capital expenditures during 2025.
Saga’s 2025 Third Quarter conference call will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. The dial-in number for the call is (973) 528-0008. Enter conference code 442000. A recording and transcript of the call will be posted to the Company’s website as soon as it is available after the call.

Saga utilizes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to assess its financial performance. The attached Selected Supplemental Financial Data tables disclose “actual”, “same station”, and “proforma” financial information as well as the Company’s reconciliation of non-GAAP measures: GAAP operating income to station operating income, GAAP net income to trailing twelve-month consolidated EBITDA and actual operating results to same station operating results as well as other financial data. The actual financial information reflects our historical financial results and include the results of operations for stations that we did not own for the entire comparable period. The same station financial information reflects only the results of operations for stations that we owned for the entire comparable period. The proforma financial information assume all acquisitions in 2024 occurred as of January 1, 2024. Such non-GAAP measures include same station financial information, pro forma financial information, station operating income, trailing 12-month consolidated EBITDA, and leverage ratio. These non-GAAP measures are generally recognized by the broadcasting industry as measures of performance and are used by Saga to assess its financial performance including, but not limited to, evaluating individual station and market-level performance, evaluating overall operations, as a primary measure for incentive-based compensation of executives and other members of management and as a measure of financial position. Saga’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are used by analysts who report on the industry and by investors to provide meaningful comparisons between broadcasting groups, as well as an indicator of their market value. These measures are not measures of liquidity or of performance in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to and not as a substitute for the results of operations presented on a GAAP basis including net operating revenue, operating income, and net income. Reconciliations for all the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are attached in the Selected Supplemental Financial Data tables.
