The California-based media and advertising technology company reported consolidated net revenue of $196 million for the quarter ended March 31, marking a 114% increase from the same period in 2025.

In contrast, the Media segment recorded an operating loss of $5.2 million, compared to a $2.6 million loss in the first quarter of 2025.
Corporate expenses decreased by 8% during the quarter.
As of March 31, Entravision held $71.1 million in cash and equivalents, against $162.2 million in long-term debt.
