The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While there were significant achievements such as digital audience growth, debt reduction, and strategic initiatives like Studio IX, the overall financial performance was tempered by declines in total and digital revenues. The DOJ's ruling against Google presents a potential future advantage, but current headwinds in revenue streams pose immediate challenges.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the Gannett Company Q1 2025 earnings call, the guidance emphasized a progressive improvement in financial performance throughout the year, reaffirming the full-year 2025 business outlook. Key metrics highlighted included a significant improvement in net income, a 10.2 million free cash flow generation, and a reduction of approximately 75 million in debt, which strengthened the capital structure. The company reported 571.6 million in total operating revenues, with digital revenues comprising 44% of this total, despite a 6.4% year-over-year decline. Gannett also experienced a 4% growth in its digital audience, achieving 195 million average monthly unique visitors. Moreover, the company anticipates a return to growth in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow over the second half of the year, driven by improving revenue trends and disciplined cost management. Gannett's digital strategy includes expanding first-party data, enhancing direct advertising relationships, and developing technology infrastructure to better monetize content. The company remains optimistic about capturing growth opportunities within the digital advertising ecosystem, especially amidst anticipated structural changes following a federal court ruling against Google's monopolistic practices.

Digital Audience Growth

Gannett attracted 195 million average monthly unique visitors, growing over 4% compared to the prior year period. This indicates a strong digital audience engagement.

Debt Reduction

Gannett aggressively reduced debt by approximately $75 million, strengthening its capital structure. Further repurchase of $14 million of 2027 convertible notes reduced future dilution.

DOJ Ruling on Google

The DOJ's ruling against Google for monopolistic practices in the digital advertising marketplace is expected to lead to a more equitable ad ecosystem, potentially benefiting Gannett significantly.

Launch of Studio IX

Gannett launched Studio IX, a new sports vertical focusing on women's sports, which showed early positive engagement and advertiser interest.
