Michael Christenson: First, we increased the size of our local sales team. Our analysis convinced us that we could increase revenue with a larger team on the field. Second, we developed the capability of our local sales team to sell digital marketing solutions to local advertisers. Search, social, streaming video, streaming audio, and our own digital properties. This required extensive training and the addition of digital product specialists. Third, we expanded the amount of local news programming that we produce. This is the most important way we can serve our local audience. Then finally, fourth, we developed a direct sales capability for political campaign advertising. In addition, as we discussed on prior calls, we had two additional new business projects underway in Q2 2026. Our Altavision multicast television network and our partnership with Hemisphere Media Group for our WAPA Orlando station. All of these initiatives require investments.

Speaker #2: Our Altovision multicast television network and our partnership with Hemisphere Media for our WAPA Orlando station. All of these initiatives require investments. Our team has worked hard to fund these investments by reducing expenses in areas other than direct selling and content production, including corporate expenses.
Michael Christenson: Our team has worked hard to fund these investments by reducing expenses in areas other than direct selling and content production, including corporate expenses. Although we produced an operating loss in our Media segment in Q2 2026, our Media operating expenses in Q2 2026 were less than $2 million higher than our Media operating expenses in Q2 2025, and they were lower than our Media operating expenses in Q4 2024. Nevertheless, as we have discussed on prior calls, we are committed to growing our Media business and earning a profit. We acknowledge that we have more work to do to improve our operating performance and profitability in our Media business. Now let me answer two questions that come up in all of our discussions with shareholders and analysts. First, our political revenue outlook.

Speaker #2: Now let me answer two questions that come up in all of our discussions with shareholders and analysts. First, are political revenue outlook? There are 85 days until Election Day.
Michael Christenson: There are 85 days until election day, and we are working hard to directly engage with campaigns to convince them that they must win the Latino vote to win their race, and that Entravision is the best way to communicate with the Latino voter. We have many important races underway across all of our markets, but there are nine critical races where the Latino vote will clearly determine the outcome and where we, Entravision, are very well-positioned. These are the Texas US Senate race, the governor's races in California, Nevada, and Texas, and the House races in Texas 15, Texas 23, Texas 28, Texas 34, and Florida 9. The total spend on these nine races and the allocation of that spend to Spanish language media will determine how well we do compared to prior election years. The second question is on the status of our TelevisaUnivision affiliation renewal.

Speaker #1: Thank you, Mike. I'll start by reviewing the performance of each of our two reporting segments. Media, and advertising technology and services. In our media segment, Q2 revenue was $45.1 million which was down 1% compared to Q2 2025.
Mark Boelke: Thank you, Mike. I will start by reviewing the performance of each of our two reporting segments, media and advertising technology and services. In our media segment, Q2 revenue was $45.1 million, which was down 1% compared to Q2 2025. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in broadcast advertising revenue and spectrum usage rights revenue, partially offset by increases in digital advertising revenue and retransmission consent revenue. We have undertaken initiatives focused on increasing our media advertising revenue, and we are seeing progress in these initiatives, particularly in local digital ad sales and national television ad sales, and an increase in the number of monthly active advertisers. Let us look at total operating expenses for the media business, which is the sum of direct operating expenses plus selling, general, and administrative expenses, as those two line items are reported in our segment results.

Mark Boelke: For example, the expense of cloud computing expenses has increased as a result of processing more transactions on additional revenue, as well as our investment in stronger AI capabilities in our Ad Tech platform.

We do not expect to repeat this same level of performance over the next two quarters of 2026, and we currently expect a decrease in revenue sequentially from Q2 to Q3. We do expect Q3 and Q4 to have significant year-over-year growth, more than 100% growth. However, one of our priorities is to win larger clients. That will lead to some variability in ATS quarterly results.

Mark Boelke: Ad spend on our platforms by our largest clients can be variable for various reasons, and these clients can have a meaningful impact on ATS results in any given quarter. We believe our core ATS business is strong, and we continue to see overall growth in the number of active monthly accounts and revenue per account as we execute on our strategic and operational priorities in the ATS business. Combining our two operating segments on a consolidated basis, revenue for second quarter 2026 was $227.9 million, up 126% compared to second quarter 2025. The two segments together generated a consolidated segment operating profit of $36.7 million in Q2 2026, compared to $5.5 million in Q2 2025. The increase was a result of operating profit in the ATS segment, partially offset by an operating loss in the media segment.

Mark Boelke: We had consolidated operating income of $30.0 million in Q2 2026, compared to an operating loss of -$0.8 million in Q2 2025. Corporate expenses in second quarter 2026 were $6.6 million, a 3% increase compared to second quarter 2025, or about $0.2 million, primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation. We have taken significant steps to reduce corporate expenses over the past few years. For additional context, looking back one additional year to 2024, corporate expense in Q2 2026 was 39% lower than corporate expense in Q2 2024. Entravision's balance sheet remains strong, with over $83 million in cash and marketable securities at the end of Q2 2026. Our strategy regarding allocation of cash is, first, reduce debt and maintain low leverage, and second, return capital to our shareholders, primarily through dividends.

As a reminder, if you have a question, please use the Q&A function on your Zoom screen, indicate your name and company, and submit your question. Please hold as we review potential questions. Mike, the first question is from David Bastian from Kingdom Capital. The question is, can you talk about new large customers showing up in AR and customer concentration? Any trends in Q3 or any other major ramps going?

Speaker #2: Any trends in Q3, or any other major ramps going?
Speaker #3: Sure. Thank you for the question. We want to stick to what I would describe as required disclosure with respect to customers as you may know, we have certain reporting obligations on size of customers relative to the business, size of customer receivables, so we obviously disclose what's necessary for SEC reporting purposes.
Michael Christenson: Sure. Thank you for the question. We want to stick to what I would describe as required disclosure with respect to customers. As you may know, we have certain reporting obligations on size of customers relative to the business, size of customer receivables. So we obviously disclose what is necessary for SEC reporting purposes. But we do not want to get into the practice of discussing individual customers beyond that for competitive reasons and business reasons. We want to keep that confidential. But as Mark said, one of our priorities for growing the business is to compete and win for larger customers. And given the size of our business, those large customers, in and out, can have an impact on the variability of our revenue.

Speaker #3: So, what I can say is that it is a priority to continue to compete for those customers, and we're prepared to accept that variability. But we're not going to get into the practice of discussing individual customers.
Michael Christenson: So what I can say is, it is a priority to continue to compete for those customers, and we are prepared to accept that variability, but we are not going to get into the practice of discussing individual customers. Did I get all of it, Roy, or was more to the question?
Michael Christenson: So what I can say is, it is a priority to continue to compete for those customers, and we are prepared to accept that variability, but we are not going to get into the practice of discussing individual customers. Did I get all of it, Roy, or was more to the question?
