The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition as of the end of the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the Company’s financial condition as of such date are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition as of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date.

The presentation of immaterial amounts of broadcast and digital advertising revenue previously reported in the Other category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 has been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to assumptions used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets and investments, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for credit losses and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual amounts and results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies since December 31, 2022. For the Company's detailed accounting policies please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which adds a new Topic 326 to the Codification and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument's contractual life. The new guidance became effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2023. In accordance with the guidance described above, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents the portion of accounts receivable that is not expected to be collected over the duration of its contractual life. Credit losses are recorded when the Company believes a customer, or group of customers, may not be able to meet their financial obligations. A considerable amount of judgment is required in determining expected credit losses. Relevant factors include prior collection history with customers, the related aging of past due balances, projections of credit losses based on historical trends or past events, and the consideration of forecasts of future economic conditions. Allowances for credit losses are based on facts available and are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis. Negative macroeconomic trends could result in an increase in credit losses if delays in the payment of outstanding receivables are observed or if future economic conditions differ from those considered in our forecasts. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

There were no new accounting pronouncements issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that are expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized as an obligation until the terms of a customer contract are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control as we satisfy contractual performance obligations over time. Our contractual performance obligations include the performance of digital marketing solutions, placement of internet-based advertising campaigns, broadcast of commercials on our owned and operated radio stations, and the operation of live events. Revenue is measured at contract inception as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are at a fixed price at inception and do not include any variable consideration or financing components by normal course of business practice. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected concurrently with revenue producing activities, are excluded from revenue.

The primary sources of net revenue are the sale of digital and broadcast advertising solutions on our owned and operated websites, radio stations’ online streams and mobile applications, radio stations, and on third-party websites through our in-house digital programmatic advertising platform. Through our digital programmatic advertising platform, we are able to hyper-target audiences for our local, regional and national advertisers by combining first and third-party audience and geographic location data, providing them the ability to reach a high percentage of their online audience. We deliver these solutions across desktop, mobile, connected TV, email, paid search and social media platforms utilizing display, video and native executions. We also offer subscription digital marketing solutions under the brand name Townsquare Interactive to small and mid-sized local and regional businesses in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including the markets in which we operate radio stations. Townsquare Interactive offers traditional and mobile-enabled website development and hosting services, e-commerce platforms, search engine and online directory optimization services, online reputation monitoring, social media management, and website retargeting.

Political net revenue includes the sale of advertising for political advertisers. Contracted performance obligations under political contracts consist of the broadcast and placement of digital advertisements. Management views political revenue separately based on the episodic nature of election cycles and local issues calendars.

Net revenue for digital and broadcast advertisements are recognized as the contractual performance obligations for Townsquare services are satisfied. We measure progress towards the satisfaction of our contractual performance obligations in accordance with the contractual arrangement. We recognize the associated contractual revenue as delivery takes place and the right to invoice for services performed is met.

Our advertising contracts are short-term (less than one year) and payment terms are generally net 30-60 days for traditional customer contracts and net 60-90 days for national agency customer contracts. Our billing practice is to invoice customers on a monthly basis for services delivered to date (representing the right to invoice). Our contractual arrangements do not include rights of return and do not include any significant judgments by nature of the products and services.

Net revenue from digital subscription-based contractual performance obligations is recognized ratably over time as our performance obligations are satisfied. Subscription-based service fees are typically billed in advance of the month of service at a fixed monthly fee that is contractually agreed upon at contract inception. The measure of progress in such arrangements is the number of days of successful delivery of the contracted service.

For all customer contracts, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) or the agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). Generally, we report revenue for advertising placed on Townsquare properties on a gross basis (the amount billed to our customers is recorded as revenue, and the amount paid to our publishers is recorded as a cost of revenue). We are the principal because we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by our sole ability to monetize the advertising inventory, being primarily responsible to our customers, having discretion in establishing pricing, or a combination of these factors. We also generate revenue through agency relationships in which revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for advertisers that use agencies.

The following tables provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; contract receivables are recognized in the period the Company provides services when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. Payment terms for amounts invoiced are typically net 30-60 days.

Our contract liabilities include cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and digital subscriptions in which payment is received in advance of the service and month. These contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the balance in the contract liabilities was $10.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The decrease in the contract liabilities balance at June 30, 2023 is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by $1.2 million and $8.5 million of recognized revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $1.3 million and $7.7 million of revenue that was previously included in our deferred revenue balance. No significant changes in the time frame of the satisfaction of contract liabilities have occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Our capitalized contract acquisition costs include amounts related to sales commissions paid for signed contracts with perceived durations exceeding one year. We defer the related sales commission costs and amortize such costs to expense in a manner that is consistent with how the related revenue is recognized over the duration of the related contracts. We have evaluated the average customer contract duration (initial term and any renewals) to determine the appropriate amortization period for these contractual arrangements. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a balance of $6.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in capitalized contract acquisition costs and recognized $1.7 million and $3.3 million of amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $1.2 million and $2.4 million of amortization, respectively. No impairment losses have been recognized or changes made to the time frame for performance of the obligations related to deferred contract assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. When multiple performance obligations are identified, we identify how control transfers to the customer for each distinct contract obligation and determine the period when the obligations are satisfied.

If obligations are satisfied in the same period, no allocation of revenue is deemed to be necessary. In the event performance obligations within a bundled contract do not run concurrently, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or by using expected cost-plus margins. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. Amounts related to performance obligations with expected durations of greater than one year are at a fixed price per unit and do not include any upfront or minimum payments requiring any estimation or allocation of revenue.    

On June 17, 2022, the Company acquired Cherry Creek Broadcasting LLC (“Cherry Creek”) for a cash purchase price of $18.5 million, net of closing adjustments. The purchase price was in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price for Cherry Creek during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The table below summarizes the Cherry Creek purchase price allocation. The measurement period adjustments below reflect changes from the preliminary purchase acquisition date fair values of major classes of net assets acquired (in thousands):

The intangible assets acquired based on the estimate of the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

The estimate of the fair value of the customer relationships acquired in the Cherry Creek acquisition were determined using a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow model, specifically, the excess earnings method which considers the use of other assets in the generation of the projected cash flows of a specific asset to isolate the economic benefit generated by the customer relationships. The contribution of other assets, such as fixed assets, working capital and workforce, to overall cash flows was estimated through contributory asset capital charges. Therefore, the value of the acquired customer relationship is the present value of the attributed post-tax cash flows, net of the return on fair value attributed to tangible and other intangible assets.

The estimate of the fair value of the FCC licenses acquired in the Cherry Creek acquisition were determined utilizing observable market based transactions of similar broadcast licenses and their estimated replacement values.

Goodwill totaling $3.5 million represents the excess of the Cherry Creek purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, representing future economic benefits that are expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition, and is included in the Broadcast Advertising and Digital Advertising segments. The Company believes the acquisition of Cherry Creek, which includes a portfolio of local media brands, will further its goal of becoming the number one local media company in markets outside of the Top 50 in the United States. In addition, the acquisition provides an opportunity to bring our digital assets and solutions to the Cherry Creek markets and accelerate their digital growth with our Digital First strategy.

Goodwill generated from the Cherry Creek acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of Cherry Creek's operations have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements, following the closing of the acquisition on June 17, 2022. Pro forma information has not been presented because the effect of the acquisition is not material.

Simultaneously, due to FCC ownership limitations, the Company sold six radio stations in Missoula, MT for an immaterial amount and placed one radio station in Tri-Cities, WA in a divestiture trust. On July 19, 2022, the Company acquired a radio station in Tri-Cities, WA for an immaterial amount.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold assets associated with a radio broadcast station in Texarkana, TX for an immaterial amount.

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was $4.2 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $8.6 million and $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a total of $0.2 million and $0.4 million in impairment charges, respectively, related to the intended sale of land and building in Battle Creek, MI and for certain long-lived assets, that were sold for immaterial amounts in five local markets.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized an $0.3 million impairment charge to right of use assets associated with the abandonment of a portion of leased office space in Purchase, NY.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell land and a building in Quincy-Hannibal, IL. The Company recognized $0.8 million in impairment charges related to the agreement.

The Company had no material right of use assets related to its finance leases as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Indefinite-lived assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses, goodwill and investment in digital assets.

FCC licenses represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total assets. The FCC licenses are renewable in the ordinary course of business, generally for a maximum of eight years. The fair value of FCC licenses is primarily dependent on the future cash flows of the radio markets and other assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue growth rates, profit margins and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company has selected December 31st as the annual testing date.

The Company evaluates its FCC licenses for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Due to increases in the weighted average cost of capital and changes in forecasted traditional broadcast revenue in the markets in which we operate, the Company quantitatively evaluated the fair value of its FCC licenses at June 30 and March 31, 2023.

The key assumptions used in applying the direct valuation method are summarized as follows:

* Market share assumption used when reliable third-party data is available. Otherwise, Company results and forecasts are utilized.

Based on the results of interim impairment assessments of our FCC licenses, as of June 30, 2023 we incurred impairment charges of $16.6 million and $24.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, for FCC licenses in 20 of our 74 local markets. The impairment charges were primarily driven by increases in the discount rate applied in the valuation of our FCC licenses due to an increase in the weighted average cost of capital and decreases in third-party forecasts of broadcast revenues. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.2 million for FCC licenses in 6 of our 74 local markets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Unfavorable changes in key assumptions utilized in the impairment assessment of our FCC licenses may affect future testing results. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital as of the date of our last quantitative assessment would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to decrease by $17.4 million which would have resulted in an additional impairment charge of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2023. Further, a 100-basis point decline in the long-term revenue growth rate would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to further decrease by $20.9 million which would have resulted in a further impairment charge of $11.1 million as of June 30, 2023. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses are also dependent upon the expected performance and growth of our traditional broadcast radio operations. In the event broadcast radio revenue experiences actual or anticipated declines, such declines will have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of our FCC licenses, and the Company could recognize additional impairment charges, which could be material.

For goodwill impairment testing, the Company has selected December 31st as the annual testing date. In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company regularly assesses whether a triggering event has occurred, which would require interim impairment testing. As of December 31, 2022, the fair values of our Local Markets, National Digital, Townsquare Ignite, Analytical Services, Townsquare Interactive and Live Events reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values by approximately 18%, 243%, 90%, 211%, 252%, and 19%, respectively. The Amped reporting unit had no goodwill as of December 31, 2022.

The Company considered whether any events have occurred or circumstances have changed from the last quantitative analysis performed as of December 31, 2022 that would indicate that the fair value of the Company's reporting units may be below their carrying amounts. Based on such analysis, the Company determined that there have been no indicators that the fair value of its reporting units may be below their carrying amounts as of June 30, 2023.

The following table presents changes in goodwill by segment during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company invested an aggregate of $5.0 million in digital assets. They were accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, included as a component of intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any decrease in the digital assets' fair values below our carrying values at any time subsequent to acquisition was recognized as an impairment charge. No upward revisions for any market price increases were recognized.

In early March 2023, the Company sold its digital assets with a carrying value of $2.1 million, recognizing a gain on the sale of $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, included as a component of Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of the Company's digital assets observed during the period.

The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets were acquired primarily in various acquisitions as well as in connection with the acquisition of software and music licenses.
