The company has scrapped its dividend payment for the second quarter in light of the pandemic related uncertainties.
Quarter in Detail
Billboard revenues came in at $188.5 million, indicating a year-over-year plunge of 38.4%. This downside resulted from lower average revenue per display, referred as yield, and declining revenues from digital-billboard conversions.
Transit and other revenues of $44.4 million slumped 71.2%, year on year. Fall in yield and resulted in this decline.
Additionally, the company reported an operating loss of $25.9 million in the second quarter, as against the operating income of $88.7 million registered in the prior year quarter.
Operating expenses of $154 million plunged 35.9% year over year. This mainly resulted from lower transit franchise expense, decreased posting, maintenance and other expenses, and a drop in billboard property lease expense.
Balance Sheet
Net cash flow, resulting from operating activities for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2020, came in at $50.7 million, plummeting 39.3% year on year. This primarily reflects the negative impact of decrease in net income.
