The earnings call presents a mixed view with notable improvements in digital revenue and cost reductions but significant declines in net revenue, operating income, and traditional broadcasting. The company shows potential for future growth through digital initiatives and new accounts, but current financial metrics indicate challenges.

Company Guidance

During Saga Communications' second-quarter earnings call for 2025, several financial metrics and strategic initiatives were discussed. The company reported a decrease in net revenue by $1.5 million, or 5%, to $28.2 million compared to the same quarter last year. Station operating expense also decreased by 4.6% to $22.2 million. Despite these declines, the company is optimistic about its digital growth, with digital revenue increasing from 13.6% to 15.6% of total net revenue quarter-over-quarter. Saga's digital initiatives showed promising results, with interactive revenue up 7% for the quarter and 10% for the six-month period. The company anticipates a reduction in operating expenses by 2% to 3% for the year and is actively pursuing capital allocation strategies, including potential asset sales and reinvestment in digital expansion. Additionally, Saga is exploring the sale of tower sites, expecting proceeds in the high seven-figure or low eight-figure range, which will contribute to stock buybacks and ongoing quarterly dividends.

Improvement in Digital Revenue

Saga's digital revenue increased quarter-over-quarter from 13.6% to 15.6% of total net revenue. Total interactive revenue was up 7% for the quarter and 10% for the 6-month period with a profit margin of 58% for the quarter.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

Saga maintains a strong financial position with $27.3 million in cash and short-term investments as of August 4, 2025.

Successful Cost Reductions

Station operating expenses decreased by 4.6% for the quarter and 3.4% for the 6-month period, with significant savings achieved by bringing digital expenses in-house and utilizing AI solutions.

Positive Digital Channel Partnerships

Saga is recognized by third-party digital partners as one of their leading and fastest-growing digital channel partners.

Potential for Large New Account

There is a potential new account that could generate $150,000 monthly, thanks to Saga's expertise in addressing client issues with other providers.
