iHeartMedia, Inc. reported a consolidated revenue of $997.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 1.1% from $1,008.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decline was primarily attributed to reduced political advertising revenues, as 2024 was a presidential election year, and lower spending on radio advertising amid ongoing market uncertainties. The company's net loss for the quarter was $65.8 million, compared to a loss of $41.3 million in the prior year, largely due to non-cash impairment charges of $208.5 million related to its FCC licenses.

In terms of segment performance, the Multiplatform Group saw a revenue decline of 4.6%, totaling $591.2 million, while the Digital Audio Group experienced a revenue increase of 13.5%, reaching $341.7 million. The latter's growth was driven by a surge in podcast advertising, which rose by 22.5% year-over-year. Conversely, the Audio & Media Services Group reported a significant revenue drop of 26.0%, totaling $66.6 million, primarily due to lower political revenues.

Operationally, iHeartMedia's total assets decreased to $5.1 billion as of September 30, 2025, down from $5.6 billion at the end of 2024. The company’s cash and cash equivalents also fell to $192.2 million from $259.6 million. The total long-term debt remained relatively stable at approximately $5.0 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 9.2%. The company utilized $100 million from its asset-based revolving credit facility to enhance liquidity amid market uncertainties.

Looking ahead, iHeartMedia anticipates continued challenges due to macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and interest rate fluctuations, which could impact advertising revenues. However, the company remains optimistic about its digital growth trajectory, particularly in podcasting and digital advertising. iHeartMedia expects to leverage its available liquidity of $509.8 million to meet its operational needs and pursue strategic opportunities over the next twelve months.
