Effective July 1, 2024, with the realignment of our operations and reassignment of certain responsibilities, certain costs that were previously included as corporate expenses, primarily salaries, are now included in operating expenses.
Net revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 increased primarily due to an increase in advertising revenue from our media segment, and an increase in advertising revenue from our advertising technology & services segment. The increase was partially offset by decreases in spectrum usage rights revenue and retransmission consent revenue in our media segment.
Cost of revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 increased primarily due to the increase in digital advertising revenue.
Operating expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 increased primarily due to an increase in salaries, primarily associated with the expansion of our news programming in our media segment, and increases in salaries and cloud infrastructure expenses associated with the increase in revenue in our advertising technology & services segment. Additionally, effective July 1, 2024, with the realignment of our operations and reassignment of certain responsibilities, certain costs that were previously included as corporate expenses, primarily salaries, are now included in operating expenses.
Corporate expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to a decrease in salaries and bonus expense, a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation, a decrease in professional services expense, and a decrease due to the realignment of our operations as noted above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in audit fees.
Corporate expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to a decrease in salaries and bonus expense, a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation, a decrease in professional services expense, and a decrease due to the realignment of our operations as noted above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in severance expense.
New Operating Segments
Effective July 1, 2024, we have realigned our operating segments into two segments – media and advertising technology & services – consistent with our current operational and management structure. Our media segment consists of sales of advertising through various media, including television, radio and digital. We own and/or operate 49 primary television stations and 44 radio stations (37 FM and 7 AM), reaching and engaging U.S. Latinos. Our advertising technology & services segment consists of programmatic ad services through Smadex, our demand side programmatic ad platform, and Adwake, our mobile growth solutions business.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share on the Company's Class A and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of $4.5 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on December 31, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2024. The Company currently anticipates that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis; however, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to approval by the Board.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures include Consolidated EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each of these non-GAAP financial measures, and a table reconciling each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included beginning on page 8.
Consolidated EBITDA
We use the term “consolidated EBITDA” because that term is defined in our 2023 Credit Agreement. Under the terms of our 2023 Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA is a measure that governs several critical aspects of our 2023 Credit Facility, including, among other things, financial covenants with which we must comply and financial ratios which we must maintain in order to borrow funds needed for the operation of our business and with respect to the interest rates that we pay on our 2023 Credit Facility. For example, our 2023 Credit Agreement contains a total net leverage ratio financial covenant. The total net leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt (net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted cash) to trailing-twelve-month consolidated EBITDA, affects both our ability to borrow from our Revolving Credit Facility and our applicable margin for the interest rate calculation. Under our 2023 Credit Agreement, our maximum total leverage ratio may not exceed 3.25 to 1.00. In addition, our 2023 Credit Agreement contains an interest coverage ratio financial covenant (calculated as set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement), with a minimum permitted ratio of 3.00 to 1.00.
Therefore, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated EBITDA to our investors to understand our compliance with these, and certain other, terms of our 2023 Credit Agreement. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance and liquidity prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as operating income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities. Consolidated EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important financial line items as noted above. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.
We calculate Consolidated EBITDA as net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net interest expense, other operating gain (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-recurring cash severance and restructuring charge, EBITDA attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and certain pro-forma cost savings.
Free Cash Flow
We use the term free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity and we believe that it is a useful indicator for potential investors of our ability to implement growth strategies and service our debt. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, information contained in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
We calculate free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
Balance Sheet and Related Metrics
Cash and marketable securities as of September 30, 2024 totaled $93.1 million. Total debt as defined in the Company’s credit agreement was $187.8 million. Net of $50 million of cash and marketable securities, total leverage as defined in the Company’s credit agreement was 3.0 times as of September 30, 2024. Net of total cash and marketable securities, total leverage was 2.0 times.
Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our 2023 Credit Agreement was $15.1 million and $30.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.
