(1) Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. Media cost is classified as cost of revenue in the period in which the corresponding revenue is recognized.


(2) Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses,
depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).


(3) Corporate expenses include $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $1.3 million and $1.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.


(4) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means 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 income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming
amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our credit facility and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated
affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses
and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.


(5) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income. Free cash flow per share is defined as free cash flow divided by the basic or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.


Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the second quarter, we achieved revenue growth driven by increases in our television and digital media segments. We also improved our free cash flow and net income over the second quarter of 2015. We continued to build our digital footprint through Pulpo Media, which provides us with an integrated platform to allow advertisers and marketers to connect with Latino audiences. Looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base and monetizing our reach to the benefit of our shareholders."

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.03125 per share of the Company's Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.8 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on September 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2016, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on September 13, 2016. As previously announced, 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.

Net revenue increased to $64.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $59.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $4.9 million. Of the overall increase, approximately $2.8 million was attributed to our television segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in national advertising revenue, an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2015, and an increase in retransmission consent revenue. Additionally, approximately $2.2 million of the overall increase was attributed to our digital segment and was primarily attributable to increases in national and local advertising revenue.

Cost of revenue increased to $2.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $1.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million, due to increased online media costs associated with the increase in net revenue of our digital segment.

Operating expenses increased to $39.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $37.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $2.4 million.

Corporate expenses increased to $5.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $5.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $0.2 million.

Net revenue increased to $122.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $119.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $3.5 million. Of the overall increase, approximately $3.1 million was attributed to our digital segment and was primarily attributable to increases in national and local advertising revenue. Additionally, approximately $0.5 million of the overall increase was attributed to our radio segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2015, and an increase in national advertising revenue. The overall increase in net revenue was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.1 million that was attributed to our television segment and was primarily attributable to approximately $5.0 million of revenue associated with television station channel modifications made by the Company in order to accommodate the operations of a telecommunications operator included in the 2015 period, and which revenue did not recur in 2016. This decrease in the television segment was partially offset by an increase in national advertising revenue, an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2015, and an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

Cost of revenue increased to $4.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $2.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $1.4 million, due to increased online media costs associated with the increase in net revenue of our digital segment.

Operating expenses increased to $78.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $74.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $4.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the increase in advertising revenue, and increases in salary expense, rent expense and promotional expense.

Corporate expenses increased to $10.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 from $10.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $0.9 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
