The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on June 16, 2023. The aggregate amount of the quarterly dividend was approximately $1.5 million. To date Saga has paid over $109 million in dividends to shareholders since the first special dividend was paid in 2012. The Company intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends in the future. Consistent with its strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet and with returning value to our shareholders, the Board of Directors of Saga will also continue to consider declaring special cash dividends, variable dividends and stock buybacks in the future.<\/p>\n

The Company\u2019s balance sheet reflects $34.4 million in cash and short-term investments as of June\u00a030,\u00a02023 and $38.3 million as of August 7, 2023. The Company expects to spend approximately $5.0 \u2013 $5.5 million for capital expenditures during 2023.<\/p>\n

Saga\u2019s 2023 Second Quarter conference call will be held on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. The dial-in number for the call is (973) 528-0008. Enter conference code 364973. A recording and transcript of the call will be posted to the Company\u2019s website as soon as it is available after the call.<\/p>\n

The Company requests that all parties who would like to submit questions to the Company please email those inquiries by 10:00 a.m. on August 8, 2023 to SagaIR@sagacom.com<\/a>. The Company will discuss, during the limited period of the conference call, the inquiries it deems of general relevance and interest. Only inquiries made in compliance with the foregoing directions will be discussed during the call.<\/p>\n

Saga utilizes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to assess its financial performance. The attached Selected Supplemental Financial Data tables disclose the Company\u2019s reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures: GAAP operating income to station operating income, and GAAP net income to trailing twelve-month consolidated EBITDA as well as other financial data. Such non-GAAP financial measures include same station financial information, station operating income, trailing 12-month consolidated EBITDA, and leverage ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures are generally recognized by the broadcasting industry as measures of performance and are used by Saga to assess its financial performance including, but not limited to, evaluating individual station and market-level performance, evaluating overall operations, as a primary measure for incentive-based compensation of executives and other members of management and as a measure of financial position. Saga\u2019s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are used by analysts who report on the industry and by investors to provide meaningful comparisons between broadcasting groups, as well as an indicator of their market value. These measures are not measures of liquidity or of performance in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to and not as a substitute for the results of operations presented on a GAAP basis including net operating revenue, operating income, and net income. Reconciliations for all the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are attached in the Selected Supplemental Financial Data tables.<\/p>\n
