Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “BBGI”) is a multi-platform media company operating two reportable business segments whose primary business is operating radio stations throughout the United States. The Company offers local and national advertisers integrated marketing solutions across audio, digital and event platforms. The Company owns and operates radio stations in the following radio markets: Atlanta, GA, Augusta, GA, Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC, Detroit, MI, Fayetteville, NC, Fort Myers-Naples, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Middlesex, NJ, Monmouth, NJ, Morristown, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, Tampa-Saint Petersburg, FL, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, and Wilmington, DE. The Company also now operates an esports segment, however, it does not exceed the thresholds for separate disclosure. COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies, and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets. In 2020, the Company was impacted by deteriorating general economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that caused a downturn in the advertising industry. The decreased demand for advertising materially negatively impacted the Company results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. In 2021, the Company benefited from a general economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic however the continuing impact of subsequent COVID-19 variants may result in general economic conditions deteriorating again in the future. Beginning in March 2020, the Company implemented certain expense control initiatives, such as reductions in compensation for management and other employees, reductions in planned capital expenditures, negotiated vendor pricing reductions, furloughs and headcount reductions for certain employees and suspensions of new employee hiring and travel and entertainment expenses. These initiatives continued reducing the Company’s expenses throughout the remainder of 2020 and, to a lesser extent, during 2021, and the Company expects expense reductions to continue into 2022. The Company’s board of directors also suspended future quarterly dividend payments until it is determined that resumption of dividend payments is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business and financial results going forward will be dependent on future developments which are uncertain and unpredictable. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that these uncertainties could materially impact the Company’s significant accounting estimates related to, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses and goodwill, and determination of right-of-use assets. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company’s estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its consolidated financial statements.
