ENTERCOM COMMUNICATIONS SECOND QUARTER NET REVENUES

INCREASE 2.3% AND OPERATING INCOME INCREASES 135%

ADJUSTED EBITDA INCREASES 7%

Philadelphia, PA—Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter Highlights

David J. Field, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Second quarter revenues and EBITDA were up 2.3% and 7%, respectively, driven by strong growth in national, network and digital, partially offset by declines in political and events. This morning, we announced the acquisition of Pineapple Street Media, and an agreement in principle to acquire Cadence13, which combined will make Entercom one of the country’s three largest podcast enterprises. We also announced the launch of the RADIO.COM Sports Digital Network, which will debut later this month with a compelling lineup of daily radio shows and weekly podcasts available exclusively on RADIO.COM. These moves highlight a series of strategic investments that are positioning Entercom to capitalize on the exciting growth opportunities in the audio space fueled by rapidly emerging catalysts, including podcasting, smart speakers, audio search, enhanced analytics and attribution.”

Additional Information

Today, the Company announced it has acquired leading podcast creator Pineapple Street Media for $18 million. In addition, the Company announced that it has an agreement in principle with its podcast partner Cadence13 to acquire the remaining shares in Cadence13 that it does not already own.

At the end of April, the Company issued $325 million in 6.5% senior secured second-lien notes due 2027. The Company used the proceeds of the issuance, as well as cash on its balance sheet and borrowings under its revolver, to repay $425 million of its senior secured Term Loan and to pay fees and expenses related to the issuance. In addition, the Company amended the financial covenant in its senior secured credit agreement such that the calculation of Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio only includes first lien secured debt.

During the second quarter, the Company executed a $560 million notional interest rate collar that limits the Company’s exposure to floating interest rate risk. This collar has a one month LIBOR cap of 2.75% and a floor of 0.40% and the notional amount declines over time in line with the Company’s projected debt repayments. As a result of the issuance of the second-lien notes and executing this interest rate collar, only about 24% of the Company’s debt was subject to floating rate risk outside of the collar at the end of the second quarter.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding $976 million of senior debt under its credit facilities, $325 million in second-lien notes and $400 million in senior notes (the amounts of senior debt and senior notes both exclude unamortized premium). In addition, the Company had $30 million in cash on hand.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

It is important to note that station operating income , station expense, corporate expense, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income , Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share — Diluted , Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Net Capital Expenditures and Adjusted Income Taxes Paid are not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these measures are useful as a way to evaluate the Company and the means for management to evaluate our radio stations’ performance and operations. Management believes that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because they are widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a radio company’s operating performance.

Certain adjusted non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release (e.g., Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share — Diluted). The adjustments exclude gain/loss on sale of assets, derivative instruments, and investments; non-cash compensation expense, other income, impairment loss, merger and acquisition costs, other expenses related to

the refinancing, and gain/loss on early extinguishment of debt and non-recurring expenses recognized for restructuring charges or similar costs, including transition and integration costs. For purposes of comparability, income taxes are reflected at the expected federal and state income tax rate of 30%, without adjustment for discrete tax adjustments.

Management believes these adjusted non-GAAP measures provide useful information to Management and investors by excluding certain income, expenses and gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating and financial results. Similarly, Management believes these adjusted measures are a useful performance measure because certain items included in the calculation of net income (loss) may either mask or exaggerate trends in the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, the reconciliations corresponding to these adjusted measures, by identifying the individual adjustments, provide a useful mechanism for investors to consider these adjusted measures with some or all of the identified adjustments.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures on an ongoing basis to help track and assess the Company’s financial performance. You, however, should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income, or any other measure for determining our operating performance that is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The accompanying financial tables provide reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures provided in this release.
