Townsquare Q1 revenue falls 1.9% to $96.8 million; reaffirms 2026 guidance
Townsquare Media reported first-quarter 2026 net revenue of $96.8 million, down 1.9% from a year earlier, and Adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million, down 9.7%. Net income rose to $3.0 million from a net loss of $1.5 million, primarily because of a $12.6 million larger income tax benefit, and the company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance. For shareholders, the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA declines are the core operating measures, while the swing to profit came largely from taxes.
