Sinclair, Inc. (SBGI) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Sinclair, Inc. (SBGI - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 2.
For second-quarter 2023, SBGI expects media revenues between $750 million and $766 million and EBITDA between $84 million and $104 million.
For the quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for loss per share has remained unchanged at 58 cents in the past 30 days. The figure indicates a decline of 1833.33% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $765.72 million, indicating an 8.52% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice in the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 290.07%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
The company expects media revenues and adjusted EBITDA for second-quarter 2023 to decline compared with the figures of second-quarter 2022. This decrease is mainly attributed to the absence of political ad spending, the timing of distributor renewals, persistently high subscriber churn and overall macroeconomic challenges.
In the to-be-reported quarter, Sinclair completed the reorganization of its holding company. This is likely to have provided a greater flexibility for value creation.
Sinclair Broadcast Group's free over-the-air multicast television networks, Comet, CHARGE! and TBD, have revealed their latest series acquisitions for the upcoming broadcast season primetime lineups. These acquisitions include both well-known major TV franchises and original series. Such partnerships are expected to have boosted the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
SBGI reported a strong liquidity profile of approximately $1.3 billion as of Mar 31, 2023. It is expected to remain steady in the coming quarters with no debt maturities for more than three years.
Compulse has introduced a new product called Compulse Performance TV. This innovative solution offers a more intelligent approach to purchasing, managing, optimizing and measuring over-the-top campaigns across various device types. It is expected to have boosted the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, SBGI has been witnessing increased media expenses due to annual compensation step-ups, the timing of tennis tournaments and investments in technology. The rising expenses are expected to have kept margins under pressure in the to-be-reported quarter.
