Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to iHeartMedia, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company reports based on three reportable segments: ▪the Multiplatform Group, which includes the Company's Broadcast radio, Networks and Sponsorships and Events businesses; ▪the Digital Audio Group, which includes all of the Company's Digital businesses, including Podcasting; and ▪the Audio & Media Services Group, which includes Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”), a full-service media representation business, and RCS Sound Software ("RCS"), a provider of scheduling and broadcast software and services. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies which the Company does not control but exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Economic Conditions The Company's advertising revenue, cash flows, and cost of capital are impacted by changes in economic conditions. Higher interest rates and inflation have continued to contribute to a challenging macroeconomic environment. This challenging environment has led to broader market uncertainty which has impacted the Company's revenues and cash flows. The current market uncertainty and macroeconomic conditions, a recession, or a downturn in the U.S. economy could have a significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flows. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, iHeartCommunications borrowed $100.0 million under the $450.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility entered into on May 17, 2022 (the "ABL Facility"). This borrowing was executed as a short-term liquidity management strategy to provide financial flexibility in response to recent market uncertainty. The funds are available to support working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2025, the ABL Facility had a borrowing base of $425.0 million, resulting in $290.8 million available for borrowing after considering the $100.0 million of outstanding borrowings and the $34.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $235.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and total available liquidity was $526.7 million. Based on current available liquidity, the Company expects to be able to meet its obligations as they become due over the coming year. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation. Restricted Cash As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any restricted cash balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions From time to time, certain companies in which the Company holds minority equity interests, purchase advertising in the ordinary course. None of these ordinary course transactions have had a material impact on the Company. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued Update 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the disclosure requirements for income tax rate reconciliation, domestic and foreign income taxes, and unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company intends to adopt this standard beginning with the 2025 annual period and is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our annual disclosures, including method of adoption. In November 2024, the FASB issued Update 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update focuses on the disaggregation of income statement expenses, requiring entities to provide more detailed disclosures about certain expenses in their financial statements. The amendments of ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures, including timing and method of adoption.
