NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OUTFRONT Media Inc. (NYSE: OUT) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

"We just completed a great second quarter which far exceeded our expectations across the board, with revenue, OIBDA, and AFFO all growing nicely," said Nick Brien, Chief Executive Officer of OUTFRONT Media. "Our successful second quarter was a result of strong organic gains across all aspects of our business, which were also enhanced by the FIFA World Cup."

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Consolidated Results
Reported revenues of $522.5 million increased $62.3 million, or 13.5%, for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the same prior-year period.

Total operating expenses of $246.1 million increased $14.6 million, or 6.3%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, higher variable transit franchise expenses driven by higher Transit revenues and higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the "MTA") due to inflation, higher production expenses, and higher maintenance and utilities costs, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period and lower site-related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $123.0 million increased $12.4 million, or 11.2%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, higher compensation-related expenses, a higher allowance for bad debt and the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.

Adjusted OIBDA of $160.3 million increased $36.2 million, or 29.2%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Segment Results

Billboard
Reported billboard segment revenues of $379.4 million increased $28.1 million, or 8.0%, compared to the same prior-year period, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield), including the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, and revenues related to the 2026 Federation Internationale de Football Association ("FIFA") World Cup, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.

Operating expenses increased $8.9 million, or 6.0%, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, higher maintenance and utilities costs, higher production expenses, and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period and lower site-related costs.

SG&A expenses increased $5.7 million, or 8.3%, primarily driven by higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, and a higher allowance for bad debt, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers and lower compensation-related expenses.

Adjusted OIBDA of $147.9 million increased $13.5 million, or 10.0%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Transit
Reported transit segment revenues of $140.6 million increased $34.3 million, or 32.3%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and revenues related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts.

Operating expenses increased $5.8 million, or 7.2%, due primarily to higher variable transit franchise expenses driven by higher Transit revenues, higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation, higher display production costs and higher posting and rotation costs, partially offset by lower site-related costs.

SG&A expenses increased $2.5 million, or 13.8%, due primarily to higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, higher compensation-related expenses, and commissions and a higher allowance for bad debt, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.

Adjusted OIBDA of $33.2 million increased $26.0 million compared to the same prior-year period.

Other
Reported revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 3.8%, operating expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 5.0%, and Adjusted OIBDA was flat, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a decrease in third-party digital equipment sales.

Corporate
Corporate expenses, excluding restructuring charges and stock-based compensation, increased $3.3 million, or 18.3%, compared to the same prior-year period to $21.3 million, due primarily to higher compensation-related expenses, including severance, and the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees.

Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2026 was $36.2 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.3 million, as compared to $36.5 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million, in the same prior-year period. The weighted average cost of debt was 5.5% as of June 30, 2026 and 5.4% as of June 30, 2025.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. Cash paid for income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $2.2 million.

Net Income Attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Net income attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. increased $58.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 177.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 168.0 million for the same prior-year period. Net income per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share was $0.44 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $0.10 in the same prior-year period.

FFO
FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $123.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $53.1 million, or 75.4%, from the same prior-year period, driven primarily by higher Adjusted OIBDA and restructuring charges in 2025.

AFFO
Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $120.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $37.7 million, or 45.4%, from the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher Adjusted OIBDA.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $183.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased $83.0 million, or 82.4%, compared to $100.7 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, and the timing of accounts receivables and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenues. Total capital expenditures decreased $1.6 million, or 3.7%, to $41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to decreased spending on digital displays, office remodels and billboard display upgrades, partially offset by the timing of payments.

Dividends
In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we paid cash dividends of $106.3 million on our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. We announced on August 5, 2026, that our board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.33 per share payable on September 30, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 4, 2026.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, our liquidity position included unrestricted cash of $31.2 million and $494.9 million of availability under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $5.1 million of issued letters of credit against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the revolving credit facility, and $50.0 million of additional availability under our accounts receivable securitization facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, no shares of our common stock were sold under our at-the-market equity offering program, of which $232.5 million remains available. Total indebtedness as of June 30, 2026 was $2.5 billion, excluding $19.9 million of deferred financing costs, and includes a $500.0 million term loan, $450.0 million of senior secured notes and $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes, and $100 million borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility.

MTA Agreement
Based on the recent performance of our MTA assets, the Company currently expects to recoup some, but not all, MTA equipment deployment costs incurred prior to December 31, 2025, and does not currently expect to recoup current period or future MTA equipment deployment costs, even in periods when revenues under the MTA Agreement exceed the minimum annual guarantee threshold. Under the Company's current accounting treatment, revenues above the minimum annual guarantee threshold are deemed to first recoup the earliest unrecovered equipment deployment costs under a first-dollar convention. Because the Company does not currently expect to recoup all deployment costs incurred over the life of the MTA Agreement, expected recoupment is attributed to the earliest unrecovered investments first. As a result, current period and future MTA equipment deployment costs will continue to be recorded as intangible assets rather than prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs, consistent with the Company's treatment of such costs since 2023. For additional information, please refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which the Company expects to file tomorrow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") provided throughout this document, this document and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures as described below. We calculate and define "Adjusted OIBDA" as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, restructuring charges and stock-based compensation. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlights operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures.  It is management's opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. When used herein, references to "FFO" and "AFFO" mean "FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc." and "AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.," respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes restructuring charges and losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management's opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs. Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Please see Exhibits 4-5 of this release for a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
