About Entravision Communications Corp

About Entravision Communications Corp

Entravision Communications generated $447.6 million in net revenue in 2025, split roughly 61% from its Advertising Technology & Services (ATS) segment and 39% from Media, which owns 47 television stations and 44 radio stations serving Latino audiences across 13 of the 20 highest-density U.S. Latino markets. ATS revenue leans heavily on mobile-gaming advertisers, including one recently acquired customer based in Hong Kong that alone accounts for a significant share of both segment and consolidated revenue.

Media revenue comes from advertising sold across television and radio inventory, retransmission-consent fees paid by cable, satellite, and virtual MVPDs, and political advertising that spikes in even-numbered election years; 21 of Entravision's television markets carry Univision or UniMás programming under an affiliation, proxy, and marketing-and-sales agreement with TelevisaUnivision that also entitles TelevisaUnivision to a 9.4% cut of national and local advertising revenue on those stations. The ATS segment, run through the Smadex demand-side platform and the Adwake agency, buys mobile-app, mobile-web, and connected-TV advertising inventory programmatically for developers of mobile games, fintech apps, and entertainment services, with the majority of ATS revenue coming from gaming clients. Entravision is also expanding local news production — more than 300 hours weekly across 412 newscasts — and new content initiatives such as WAPA Orlando and the Altavision network, sourced through a partnership with Mexico-based Multimedios Television.

Show full overview

Entravision's affiliation, proxy, and marketing-and-sales agreements with TelevisaUnivision — which govern the Univision and UniMás programming carried in 21 of its television markets — expire December 31, 2026, and the company acknowledges it cannot guarantee renewal on current or acceptable terms, or at all; termination would have a material adverse effect given how essential that programming is to its ratings and retransmission revenue. A second, unrelated concentration compounds the risk profile: the ATS segment's single largest customer, a recently acquired mobile-gaming advertiser based in Hong Kong, accounts for a significant share of both ATS and consolidated revenue, and its loss — or a deterioration in cross-border legal enforceability given ongoing U.S.-China tension — would directly hit consolidated results rather than just one segment.
