It was a busy year that was full of change and I'm happy to report. We have made significant progress on the 4 straight imperatives I laid out last May
First, we've made great strides on optimizing our sales strategy.
Primarily through a broad reorganization of our sales force.
We've created distinct Enterprises and Commercial go to market teams and ensure. There's experienced leadership throughout the world's entire organization.
To that end, we work diligently to make sure that the key roles were filled by the best possible leader.

Second.
We have made important progress in modernizing our workflow and processes.
We've centralized many of our back office functions as well as invested in better sales tools such as Salesforce and AWS, we will continue to invest in our technology and tools to further accelerate our growth and Roi as appropriate.

As in Q3, much of this increase is attributable to our improved performance within the New York MTA, as incremental revenue growth within this important franchise has extremely high margin. Turning to capital expenditures on slide 13, Q4 CapEx spend was about $25 million, including about $11 million of maintenance spent. We converted 26 new boards to digital in Q4 of 2025, bringing our total for the year to 103. In 2026, we expect to spend approximately $90 million of CapEx, in line with our growing revenues and with much of this spend earmarked for digital developments. We still expect $30 to 35 million of this total to be for maintenance.
Turning to our dividends we announced today that a border directors maintain the 30 Cent cash dividends payable on March 31st to share who is a record at the close of business on March 6th.
Combined with the billboard and Transit orbit. I covered earlier adjusted orbit at totaled about 173 million dollars up. 12% compared to last year.
We spend approximately $3 million on Acquisitions during the quarter.
Bringing our total for 2025 to just over 13 million dollars.
We remain interested in pursuing attractive Tech and Acquisitions within our footprints.
As in the third quarter, much of this increase is attributable to our improved performance within the New York MTA, as incremental revenue growth within this important franchise has extremely high margin.
To Capital expenditures on slide 13.
Based on our current acquisition pipeline, we expect that 2026 billboard acquisition activity to remain at a similar level, to those seen in the last couple of years.
For that. Let me turn the call back to Nick.
Q4 capex spend was about 25 million dollars, including about 11 million dollars of Maintenance spent.
Thank you, Matt.
We converted 26, new boards to digital, and Q4 2025, bringing our total for the year to 103.
As I mentioned earlier, the strong Topline Trends, we saw on the fourth quarter, continue into the start of 2026.
The 2026. We expect to spend the price between 90 million dollars of capex in line with our growing revenues and with much of this, spend your mark for digital development.
We still expect $30 to $35 million of this total to be for maintenance.
Matt: One quick note before turning to ASFO. Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of ASFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as we believe that this calculation of ASFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period over period, and consistent with how we calculate Funds From Operations. This change has resulted in small adjustments, less than $3 million on an annual basis, for recorded ASFO in prior periods, which have been recast to conform to this definition and can be found on slide 20 in the appendix of our earnings presentation. Now, turning to slide 14, you can see the bridge to our Q4 ASFO of $130 million.

But from where we sit today, we expect first quarter of Revenue growth to accelerate from quarter 4. As a result, the Consolidated reported revenues up in the high, single digits driven by high teams growing in transit and mid single digit growth in billboard.
It's gone. This is impacted by 2. Non recurring items.
First.
Money at the end of 2025. We modified our calculation of ASFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs, instead of cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as we believe that this calculation of ASFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period over period and consistent with how we calculate funds from operations.
A billboard condemnation, that will contribute approximately $10 million to billboard revenues, which we expect to close at the end of March. And second, the headwind created, by our strategic decision to exit, a marginally profitable billboard contract in La, which contributed approximately 4.5 million in Revenue, in the first quarter of 2025,
This change has resulted in small adjustments Less Than 3 million dollars on an annual basis were recorded afo and prior periods, which have been reached to conform to this definition and can be found on slide 20 in the appendix of our earnings presentation.
Taking into account, these 2 items, We Believe quarter 1 Consolidated, Revenue growth would be in the mid to high single-digit range based on our existing operations.
Matt: The 8.3% improvement is principally driven by higher billboard and transit OIBDA, which was partially offset by higher maintenance CapEx. In 2026, we currently expect reported consolidated AFFO growth comfortably in the double-digit range, driven principally by improvement in OIBDA. Included in this guidance is $145 million of cash interest, the aforementioned $30 to $35 million of maintenance CapEx, and $5 million of cash taxes. Please turn to slide 15 for an update on our balance sheet. The middle equity is nearly $750 million, including almost $100 million of cash, about $500 million available via revolver, and $150 million available via our accounts receivable securitization facility. As of 31 December, our total net leverage was 4.7 times within our 4 to 5 times target range.

Our sales strategy modernizing, our workflow and processes generating new demand and demanding Excellence from our teams
Matt: We remain comfortable with our debt stack, with our next maturity not until late 2027. Turning to our dividends, we announced today that our board of directors maintained a $0.30 cash dividend payable on 31 March to shareholders of record at the close of business on 6 March.

With that, let me turn the call back to Nick.
Nick: Thank you, Matt. As I mentioned earlier, the strong top line trends we saw in Q4 continued into the start of 2026. From where we sit today, we expect Q1 revenue growth to accelerate from Q4 as a result. The consolidated reported revenues up in the high single digits, driven by high teens growth in transit and mid-single digit growth in billboard. This guidance is impacted by two non-recurring items. First, a billboard condemnation that will contribute approximately $10 million to billboard revenues, which we expect to close at the end of March. Second, the headwind created by our strategic decision to exit a marginally profitable billboard contract in LA, which contributed approximately $4.5 million in revenue in Q1 2025.

Nick: Taking into account these two items, we believe Q1 consolidated revenue growth would be in the mid to high single digit range based on our existing operations.

We are increasing the visibility of OUTFRONT and the whole industry, so that we will be at the forefront of marketeers' minds as they design their future advertising campaigns, priming us to take a larger share of their omnichannel spend.

Nick: Daniel, Well, first of all, thank you for the question. I mean, these are both significant strategic agreements that we've set into, that are entirely designed to unlocking the new revenue streams that we see both on the enterprise and the commercial side. The orientation of our partnership with AWS is to what we're calling Agency Connect, to ensure that for all the holdcos, who are increasingly having consolidated AI-enabled digital planning and buying systems, our inventory and our datasets are completely integrated into that. We see AdQuick as being much more for the SMB and mid-market, because as we talked about, you know, a year ago, when we talked about steadying out the strategy.

Matt: Hey, Ken, it's Matt. Thanks for the question. I'll take the pacing question on transit. transit books relatively later than billboard. While we feel, you know, great about the year, Nick talked about the outlook for Q1, it might be premature to give any color on Q2, Q3, and Q4. We still feel it's in great shape, you know, really led by the MTA and your comment of maybe the MTA gets back above the MAG.

Okay, I think well, thank you Jonathan. Thank you for the question. I think National when we're talking about national uh, you know, as I said we we tend to now focus on our categorization between Enterprise and Commercial. So these Enterprises Brands and National advertisers, they continue to be uh, you know, a very important part of our business. And we've really looked at some very strong brand names that are continuing to support us. Um, you know, I think as we've just talked about earlier on the AI and the SAS side, I mean some of the big Enterprise the players at the on the Enterprise side of entertainment. Uh when we think about all,
Matt: As you see, when we talk about our accounting, we're still accounting for it on a straight-line basis, so we don't anticipate that, but we don't think it's so far out of the realm that it's certainly possible, and we're hoping that we trip that line.

While we feel uh, you know, great about the year, uh, Nick talked about outlook for the first quarter, might be premature to give you any any color on the second and third and fourth quarter, uh, but we still feel, it's it's in great shape. Um, you know, really led by the NCA and your, your comment of uh, maybe the MTA gets back above the mag. As you see when we talk about our accounting, we're still accounting for on a straight line basis. So we don't, uh,
Anticipate that but we don't think it's uh, so far out of the realm that it's, it's certainly possible. And uh, we're we're hoping that, uh, we we trip that line.
Nick: Cameron McVeigh, if I take the second part of your question about the AI campaigns, they're significant. If I look at the specifically within the transit world, when I think about AI and SaaS, let's say the B2B sector, you know, we've got some exciting brand names there. We've got a big campaign we can't announce yet, it's just come through. We've got Anthropic, CodeRabbit, Profound, CrowdView, IBM, ClickUp. We've got a lot of the independent AI brands that are striving to ensure that they get that level of visibility, both to customers and clients, as well as their funding. We're very bullish on it. We've got a dedicated team led by a leadership crew in San Francisco who are, you know, having direct engagement with some of the biggest conversations there.

We've got a dedicated team led by a leadership crew in San Francisco who are, you know, having direct engagement with some of the biggest conversations there.
The big entertainment brands have been active in Beauty, we've had lockout. Uh, there's a significant Advertiser, um, Cat 1 in finance called Dash eBay. Uh, even Duolingo who did a very significant campaign with us, that was going to surround, um, Super Bowl and bad bunnies performance. So again, the Enterprise team is combined of those who focus on the Enterprise clients that are buying through agencies, as well as business direct, and brand direct conversations with our brand Solutions team and those are going extremely well. Um, and then, when we think about FIFA, yeah we think of the world World Cup. Uh we we're we're excited. It is you know this has been identified before. It's the Tailwind. Uh we're not yet giving out detailed numbers but we have direct um agreements with made with 6 of our host committee Partnerships. So 6 cities uh La San Francisco, Atlanta Dallas, Kansas City in Miami,
Nick: It seems that our medium is something that they're really understanding, that as virtual and digital brands, they can be building their businesses and their recognition in real life. We continue to see 2026 as being this has been a strong category for us.
Nick Brien: It seems that our medium is something that they're really understanding, that as virtual and digital brands, they can be building their businesses and their recognition in real life. We continue to see 2026 as being this has been a strong category for us.
Cameron. If I take the second part of your question about the AI campaigns. Yeah. The significant if I look at the specifically within the transit world, I think about Ai and SAS, let's say the B2B sector. Um you know we've got some exciting brand names there, we've got a big campaign that's on announced yet. It's just come through, we've got anthropic code rabbit, profound proud of you IBM clicker. We've got a lot of the independent AI brands that are striving to ensure that they get that level of visibility both to customers and clients as well as their funding. Um, so we're we're very bullish on it. Um, we've got a dedicated team led by our leadership through in San Francisco who are, uh, you know, having direct engagement with some of the biggest conversations.
There. Um, and it seems that our medium uh is something that the really understanding that as virtual and digital brands, they can be building.
Um, and uh, our level of Enterprise Revenue that's coming across from some other significant Brands, um, is something we're tracking, you know, on a weekly basis. I mean, we we've identified every 1 of the FIFA Priority Access sponsors. So the obvious ones we think about Coca-Cola AB in bed unlever Verizon Telmo, Lenovo lays, I mean, McDonald's, some of the biggest brands, we know, uh, and we're having conversations with every single 1 on the
very frequent basis, and whether that's,
Source.
Their businesses and their recognition in real life. So, we continue to see—2026 has been a, this has been a strong category for us.
Cameron McVeigh: Great. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, Nick.
Cameron McVeigh: Great. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, Nick.
Great thanks, Matt. Thanks Nick.

Whether it's going to be um you know, more um, you know, standard inventory that we have as well as some of the specific. Um,
Jonathan Navarrete: Hey, guys. Nice job on the quarter. My question is, with 2 months already into the year, can you maybe talk about how national is trending, perhaps in Q1, and then what you guys are seeing in the second half? Lastly, can you help us quantify the benefit that the World Cup that you guys will have from the World Cup this year? Thank you.

The next question comes from the line of Jonathan neverett with TD Cowen. You may begin
City agreements that we have to create, uh, unique um, advertising opportunity during the course of the festival. So we are going to be giving more detail on that on our second, on our next earnings call. But at this stage we're feeling very, uh, you know, excited about what people and the World Cup represents.
Great. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey guys, uh, nice to have you on the quarter. Um, my question is, with two months already into the year, um, can you maybe talk about how National is trending, um, perhaps in the first quarter and then what you guys are seeing in the second half? And lastly, uh, can you help us quantify, uh, the benefit that the World Cup, um, that you guys will have from the World Cup this year? Thank you.
Nick: Well, thank you, Jonathan. Thank you for the question. I think national, when we're talking about national, you know, as I said, we tend to now focus on our categorization between enterprise and commercial. These enterprise brands and national advertisers, they continue to be, you know, a very important part of our business, and we've really looked at some very strong brand names that have continued to support us. You know, I think as we just talked about earlier on the AI and the SaaS side, I mean, some of the big enterprise, the players on the enterprise side are entertainment. When we think about all the big entertainment brands have been active.
Nick Brien: Well, thank you, Jonathan. Thank you for the question.

When we think about all the big entertainment brands have been active.
The next question comes from the line of Patrick Shaw with Berrington research. You may begin.
Hi. Uh thanks for taking the question. Um I just had a a maybe a follow up on uh on capex. Um, you know, beyond the the maintenance capex guiders. Um the digital thumb is is there any like is that exclude primarily digital boards or is there are there other digital Investments That would be included in that?
Okay, I think—well, thank you, Jonathan. Thank you for the question. I think national—when we're talking about national, uh, you know, as I said, we tend to now focus on our categorization between Enterprise and Commercial. So, these Enterprise brands and national advertisers, they continue to be, uh, you know, a very important part of our business. And we've really looked at some very strong brand names that are continuing to support us. Um, you know, I think as we've just talked about earlier on the AI and the—
Nick: In beauty, we've had L'Oréal as a significant advertiser, Capital One in finance, DoorDash, eBay, even Duolingo, who did a very significant campaign with us that was gonna surround Super Bowl and Bad Bunny performance. Again, the enterprise team is combined of those who focus on the enterprise clients that buy through agencies, as well as business direct and brand direct conversations with our brand solutions team. Those are going extremely well. Then when we think about FIFA, yeah, we think of the World Cup. We're excited. It is, you know, it has been identified before as a tailwind. We're not yet giving out detailed numbers, but we have direct agreements made with six of the host committee partnerships. Six cities, LA, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas, Kansas City, and Miami.

Thanks Brad, it's Matt. Um, so the capex we try to keep it around 5% of our Revenue would would lower with Revenue growing. We felt we can take it from 85 10 109 million dollars. This year maintenance capex, will be about the same as as last year. Um, so, you know, the the, the increase, uh, will be all in in growth and the, the man's primarily for digital conversions and new, digital boards is an occasional, uh, replacement of a board that drives Revenue growth.
The growth is really driving digital, uh, digital billboards.
Okay. Um and then maybe just to follow up on the the AI and other Tech uh uh ad spending uh commentary. Um
Side. I mean, some of the big Enterprise, the players and the, on the Enterprise side of entertainment, uh, when we think about all the big entertainment brands, have been active in Beauty, we've had lot, uh, there's a significant Advertiser, um, cap 1 in finance called Dash eBay, uh, even dual lingo who did a very significant campaign with us, that was going to surround, um, Super Bowl and bad bunnies performance. So again, the Enterprise team is combined of those who focus on the Enterprise clients that are buying through agencies, as well as business direct, and brand direct conversations with our brand Solutions team and those are going extremely well. Um and then, when we think about FIFA yeah we think of the world World Cup. Uh we we're we're excited. It is you know this has been identified before. It's a Tailwind. Uh we're not yet giving out detailed numbers but we have direct um agreements with made with 6 of The Host committee partners.
Nick: Our level of enterprise revenue that's coming across from some of the significant brands is something we're tracking, you know, on a weekly basis. I mean, we've identified every one of the FIFA priority access sponsors to the obvious ones we think about, Coca-Cola, ABInbev, Unilever, Verizon, Telemundo, Lenovo, Lay's, I mean, McDonald's, some of the biggest brands we know, and we're having conversations with every single one on a very frequent basis. Whether that's gonna be, you know, more, you know, standard inventory that we have, as well as some of the specific city agreements that we have to create unique advertising opportunities during the course of the festival. We are gonna be giving more detail on that on our next earnings call.

On on, uh, advertisers like um anthropic and other prediction markets is that group within Tech or do you or is that kind of viewed similar to like I think gambling a few years ago when that was ramping up in certain States. And I guess you kind of see that as is is that not really meaningful or do you see that as like kind of different in potentially more sustainable?
I think we group all those within Tech. Would you point out a good, you know, point a lot of interesting categories within Tech. Um,
The 6 cities, uh, La San Francisco, Atlanta Dallas, Kansas City in Miami. Um, and uh, our level of Enterprise Revenue that's coming across from some of the significant Brands, um, is something we're tracking, you know, on a weekly basis. I mean, we we've identified every 1 of the FIFA Priority Access sponsors to the obvious ones. We think about Coca-Cola AB in bed. You leave a Verizon Telmo Lenovo load. I mean, McDonald's.
Uber, for example, you know, it's obviously a tech company, but it's also travel and, and
Uh, your transportation, um, and AI right now is I think we cover it in Tech.
Some of the biggest brands we know—uh—and we're having conversations with every single one on a very frequent basis, and whether that's specials—
Okay. Uh, and then then then, lastly, um,
I just the MTA. Is there any sort of like comp issue from the transition from Metro cards with like government advertising around that? Or is that pretty much all like uh uh informational board stuff?
Nick: At this stage, we're feeling very, you know, we're excited about what FIFA and the World Cup represents.
Nick Brien: At this stage, we're feeling very, you know, we're excited about what FIFA and the World Cup represents.
I don't think we have any contact issues at all doing.
Opportunity to in the course of the festival. So we are going to be giving more detail on that on our second on our next earnings call. But at this stage we're feeling very um you know excited about what people and the World Cup represents.
Alexia Quadrani: Great. Thank you.
Alexia Quadrani: Great. Thank you.
Great. Thank you.
Great strong second half of the Year, grew all through 2025. There's next pointed out rolling into the first quarter with a string out of Transit, has growth for us, it's mostly coming from the MTA. And um,
Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Patrick Sholl with Barrington Research. You may begin.
Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Patrick Sholl with Barrington Research. You may begin.
Thank you.
I'm not sure if I answered the question, it's entirely.
The next question comes from the line of Patrick Shaw with Berrington research. You may begin.
Patrick Sholl: Hi, thanks for taking the question. I just had a, maybe a follow-up on CapEx. You know, beyond the maintenance CapEx guidance, the digital development. Is that exclude primarily digital boards, or are there other digital investments that would be included in that?
Patrick Sholl: Hi, thanks for taking the question. I just had a, maybe a follow-up on CapEx. You know, beyond the maintenance CapEx guidance, the digital development. Is that exclude primarily digital boards, or are there other digital investments that would be included in that?
Ya know, just the the transition from like the metro card to the the 1 Metro New York. Uh, it's like yeah.
No, no issues for us, it's ridership continues to slowly melt higher. Um however people are getting on the subway, you know.
Matt: Well, thanks, Pat. It's Matt. The CapEx, we try to keep it around 5% of our revenue, a little lower. With revenue growing, we felt we can take it from 85 to $90 million this year. Maintenance CapEx will be about the same as last year. You know, the increase will be all in growth and primarily for digital conversions and new digital boards. There's an occasional replacement of a board that drives revenue growth. We have some spend in some transit areas, we have residual contractual obligations, but most of the growth is really driving digital billboards.
Matt Siegel: Well, thanks, Pat. It's Matt. The CapEx, we try to keep it around 5% of our revenue, a little lower. With revenue growing, we felt we can take it from 85 to $90 million this year.

Hi. Uh thanks for taking the question. Um I just had a a maybe a follow-up on uh on capex. Um you know beyond the the maintenance capex guidance. Um the digital development is is there any like is that exclude primarily digital boards or is there are there other digital Investments That would be included in that?
Thanks Patty, it's Matt. Um, so the capex
Personally, I use credit cards, some people use their phones, Metro cards are dead, but uh, I think ridership is around 80 low 80% to where it was in 2019, slightly higher and I don't think the metro card changes impacting at all.
Okay.
Keep it around. 5% of our Revenue would lower.
Okay, okay.
They did somebody wasn't significant enough some they they use their own medium for that. But you know we we look at the ridership, you know, it's up 30% from 2022. I mean the range is is Matt said between 18 and 85%. But
With Revenue growing. We thought we can take it from 85 10 109 million dollars. This year maintenance capex, will be about the same as as last year. Um, so you know, the the increase uh will be all in in in growth and the the primarily for digital conversions and new, digital boards is an occasional uh, replacement of a board that drives Revenue growth. And then we have uh, some spend
You know what? We we increase the statute 25. We had over 1.3 billion dollars billion trips in total. Uh so you know we we continue to be excited and and as importantly you know that dedicated trans
In some Transit areas that we have residual, uh, contractual obligations. But you know, most of the growth is really driving digital, uh, digital billboards.
Patrick Sholl: Okay. Then maybe just a follow-up on the AI and other tech, ad spending, commentary, on, advertisers like, Anthropic and other prediction markets. Is that grouped within tech, or is that kind of viewed similar to, like, I think gambling a few years ago when that was ramping up in certain states? I guess you kind of see that as... Is that not really meaningful, or do you see that as, like, kind of different and potentially more sustainable?
Patrick Sholl: Okay. Then maybe just a follow-up on the AI and other tech, ad spending, commentary, on, advertisers like, Anthropic and other prediction markets. Is that grouped within tech, or is that kind of viewed similar to, like, I think gambling a few years ago when that was ramping up in certain states? I guess you kind of see that as... Is that not really meaningful, or do you see that as, like, kind of different and potentially more sustainable?
Okay. Um and then maybe just a follow up on the the AI and other Tech uh uh ad spending uh commentary. Um,
You know, Transit velocity team have been excellent on focusing, um, not just on the advertising, but on the relationship, with the MTA about the opportunities that they see to encourage, uh, more creativity and more Innovation on their platform and, and, and on their Rolling Stock. Uh, it gives us the opportunity to continue to push the envelope with the advertisers who really want to stand out the Beyond doing their classic add. Um, so we we continue to be very excited about NTA.
Okay, thank you.
On on, uh, advertisers like um anthropic and other prediction markets is that group within Tech or do you or is that kind of viewed similar to like I think gambling a few years ago when that was ramping up in certain States. And I guess you kind of see that as is is that not really meaningful or do you see that as like kind of different in potentially more sustainable?
Matt: Pat, I think we group all those within tech, but you point out a good, you know, point, a lot of interesting categories within tech. Uber, for example, you know, is obviously a tech company, but it's also travel and transportation. AI right now is, I think we cover it in tech.
Matt Siegel: Pat, I think we group all those within tech, but you point out a good, you know, point, a lot of interesting categories within tech. Uber, for example, you know, is obviously a tech company, but it's also travel and transportation. AI right now is, I think we cover it in tech.
Thank you.
The next question comes from the alarm of Alexis Philip Paul with JP Morgan. You may begin.
Uh Pat I think we group all those uh within Tech. Would you point out a good, you know, point a lot of interesting categories within Tech. Um,
over, for example, you know, it's obviously a tech company, but it's also travel and and, uh,
Um can we talk about New York and take contracts again? Uh, what Revenue? Do you expect for 2026?
Your transportation, um, and AI right now is I think we covered it in Tech.
Patrick Sholl: Okay. Then lastly, just the MTA. Is there any sort of, like, comp issue from the transition from MetroCard to, like, government advertising around that? Is that pretty much all, like, informational board stuff?
Patrick Sholl: Okay. Then lastly, just the MTA. Is there any sort of, like, comp issue from the transition from MetroCard to, like, government advertising around that? Is that pretty much all, like, informational board stuff?
Okay. Uh, and then, then, then, lastly, um,
Uh so you're 20% full year growth that you disclosed I think implies around in 2022 for fourth quarter. Uh, can you talk what is driving this strong momentum again?
I just thought MTA is there any sort of like comp issue from the transition from Metro card with like government advertising around that? Or is that pretty much all like uh informational board stuff?
Matt: Can you repeat that? I don't think we have any comp issues at all. I mean, MTA is doing great. Had a strong second half of the year. We grew all through 2025. There's nice points of that rolling into Q1 with extremely high transit, highest growth for us. It's mostly coming from the MTA. I'm not sure if I answered the question entirely.
Matt Siegel: Can you repeat that? I don't think we have any comp issues at all. I mean, MTA is doing great. Had a strong second half of the year. We grew all through 2025. There's nice points of that rolling into Q1 with extremely high transit, highest growth for us. It's mostly coming from the MTA. I'm not sure if I answered the question entirely.
And um, the second question will be on a for for Outlook for this year, obviously woke up and the strong momentum in New York MTA are 2, big Tailwind.
I don't think we have any comp issues at all. In MK is doing.
perhaps you could help understand between these 2 factors, what is more important for you to execute in order to achieve uh the Double Digit growth in af4
Thank you.
Great and strong, second half of the year, we grew all through 2025. There's Nick pointed out rolling into the first quarter with uh, spring has Transit has growth for us. It's mostly coming from the MTA. And, um,
Not sure if I answered the question entirely.
Patrick Sholl: Yeah, no, just the transition from, like, the MetroCard to the, what is it, the OMNY, One Metro New York.
Patrick Sholl: Yeah, no, just the transition from, like, the MetroCard to the, what is it, the OMNY, One Metro New York.
Matt: Oh.
Matt Siegel: Oh.
Patrick Sholl: Yeah.
Patrick Sholl: Yeah.
Matt: No, no issues for us. Ridership continues to slowly melt higher. However, people are getting on the subway. You know, personally, I use credit cards. Some people use their phone. MetroCards are dead, but I think ridership is around 80, low 80% of where it was in 2019, slightly higher, and I don't think the MetroCard change is impacting that at all.
Matt Siegel: No, no issues for us. Ridership continues to slowly melt higher. However, people are getting on the subway. You know, personally, I use credit cards. Some people use their phone. MetroCards are dead, but I think ridership is around 80, low 80% of where it was in 2019, slightly higher, and I don't think the MetroCard change is impacting that at all.
Yeah, no. Just the the transition from like the metro card to the the 1 Metro New York. Uh it's like yeah.
No, no no issues for us, it's ridership continues to slowly melt higher. Um however people are getting on the subway, you know.
Have a sizable condemnation that's going to hit end of the first quarter. Um, and then just continued strong growth in our
Personally, I use credit cards. Some people use their phones, Metro cards are dead, but uh, I think ridership is around 80 low, 80% of, where it was in 2019, slightly higher and I don't think the metro card changes.
Patrick Sholl: Okay. Okay, yeah, there was, like, promotional-
Patrick Sholl: Okay. Okay, yeah, there was, like, promotional-
Checking at all.
Okay.
Okay. Yeah. Bye.
Nick: They did somebody it wasn't significant while asked them, they use their own medium for that. You know, we look at the ridership, you know, it's up 30% from 2022. I mean, the range is, as Matt said, between 80% and 85%. You know, we increased substantially in 2025. We had over 1.3 billion trips in total. You know, we continue to be excited. As importantly, you know, that dedicated transit velocity team have been excellent on focusing, not just on the advertising but on the relationship with the MTA, about the opportunities that they see to encourage more creativity and more innovation on their platform and on their rolling stock.
Nick Brien: They did somebody it wasn't significant while asked them, they use their own medium for that. You know, we look at the ridership, you know, it's up 30% from 2022.

Regular way business Transit continues to uh, uh rally and and highlight. And you know, a lot of a lot of new initiatives. Um, a lot of things are are panning out. We really feel very bullish,
About our year. So I think the way we give guidance for SFO, uh, we think that's helpful. Uh, we give the details between
Yeah, they did. Somebody wasn't significant 1 last time they they use their own medium for that. But you know we we look at the ridership, you know, it's up 30% in 2022. I mean the range is as Matt said between 1885 to 10 but
You know, where we increased the statute 25, we had over $1.3 billion, billion trips in total. Uh, so you know, we continue to be excited and, as importantly, you know, that dedicated trans—
A foe and then keep it down. I think that's, uh, you can back into the IBM number. Um, then make some assumptions around margin to fund Revenue number. Um, we typically don't give full gear Revenue guidance. Uh, you know, at at this time, that's not something, you know, we want to, uh, put out there in public or happy to help you with your uh, uh, your assumptions at a, at a different time.
Nick: It gives us the opportunity to continue to push the envelope with the advertisers who really want to stand out beyond doing a classic ad. We continue to be very excited about MTA.
Nick Brien: It gives us the opportunity to continue to push the envelope with the advertisers who really want to stand out beyond doing a classic ad. We continue to be very excited about MTA.
Yeah, and then and you have the uh, the Alan. You have that good question about the New York, the MTA contract. I think as, as Matt shared in our comments, that we will see the MTA
Patrick Sholl: Okay, thank you.
Patrick Sholl: Okay, thank you.
Be beyond doing a classic ad. Um, so we continue to be very excited about NCA.
Step Up, 3% to approximately 161 million this year. Um, I'm not sure I understood what the rest of the question was.
Okay, thank you.
Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Alexia Quadrani with J.P. Morgan. You may begin.
Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Alexia Quadrani with J.P. Morgan. You may begin.
Thank you.
I guess I'm more broadly about uh, what is driving growth.
Alexia Quadrani: Yes, good evening. Thank you very much. Can we talk about New York MTA contract again? What revenue do you expect for 2026? So your 20% full year growth that you disclosed, I think implies around mid-twenty growth for Q4. Can you talk what is driving this strong momentum again? The second question would be on AFFO outlook for this year, obviously, World Cup and strong momentum in New York MTA are two big tailwinds. Perhaps you could help understand between these two factors, what is more important for you to execute in order to achieve the double-digit growth in AFFO? Thank you.

The next question comes from the line of Alexis Philip Paul with Jeffy Morgan you may begin.
Yeah.
Revenue growth for the MTA again.
we haven't given that guidance, but we feel
Uh, very kind of you can see the acceleration from the first quarter of 25.
Yeah, good evening. Thank you very much. Um, can you talk about your context again? What Revenue do you expect for 2026? Uh, so your 20% full year growth that you disclosed, I think implies around in 2024, for fourth quarter. Uh, can you talk, what is driving this strong momentum again?
Uh through his Nick describes into into 2026. Um, as I can point it out before there is a chance. Um no not in our Gardens but there is a chance that we clear. The, the mag Break Even which is
And um, the second question will be on a for 4 Hour Week for this year, obviously woke up and the strong momentum. When you all can see are 2 big Tailwind
perhaps you could help understand between these 2 factors, what is more important for you to execute in order to achieve uh the Double Digit growth in af4
Around 285 million. And it's that would imply uh, very strong, double digit Revenue growth in the MTA. But that's again, not not where we're cutting. We're just saying there. There's a chance of that.
Matt: I'll take the AFFO question first. Obviously, we feel very comfortable. There's, I think a phrase we use, but here there's a few one-time things in 2026. As someone mentioned earlier, the World Cup is gonna benefit us. There is an election year, which we're not a big political player, but it's gonna be helpful. As Nick mentioned, we have a sizable condemnation that's gonna hit end of Q1. Just continued strong growth in our regular way business. Transit continues to rally and highlight. You know, billboard, we're doing a lot of new initiatives. A lot of things are panning out. We feel very bullish about our year.

Matt: I think the way we give guidance for AFFO, we think that's helpful. We give the details between AFFO and then EBITDA. I think that's, you can back into the EBITDA number, and then make some assumptions around margins from the revenue number. We typically don't give full year revenue guidance. You know, at this time, that's not something, you know, we wanna put out there in poet, but we're happy to help you with your assumptions at a different time.

To listen to our prepared, remarks as well to our questions. We uh, We've certainly very um
I'll, I'll take the SSO question, uh, the first, um, obviously we feel very comfortable was, I think phrase, we use with the year. There's a few 1 time, things in 2026. Uh, as someone mentioned earlier, the World Cup is going to benefit us. Uh, there is an election year which we're not a big political player, but it's going to be, uh, helpful.

Uh, you know, at at this time, that's not, uh, something, you know, we want to, uh, put out there in public but you're happy to help you with your uh, uh, your assumptions at a, at a different time.
Nick: Yeah, then, Ian Zaffino, you had the question about the New York MTA contract. I think as Matt shared in our comments, that we will see the MTA step up 3% to approximately $161 million this year. I'm not sure I understood what the rest of the question was.
Nick Brien: Yeah, then, Ian Zaffino, you had the question about the New York MTA contract. I think as Matt shared in our comments, that we will see the MTA step up 3% to approximately $161 million this year. I'm not sure I understood what the rest of the question was.

Nick Brien: Well-
Matt: Again, we haven't given that guidance, but we feel very confident. You can see the really acceleration from the Q1 2025 through, as Nick described, into 2026. As Ken pointed out before, there is a chance, not in our guidance, but there is a chance that we clear the MAG break-even, which is around $285 million. That's would imply very strong double-digit revenue growth for the MTA. That's again, not what we're guiding. We're just saying there's a chance of that.
