AI Insight: GTN Financial Trends
Gray Media's revenue has contracted year-over-year for four consecutive quarters while net losses persist and operating cash flow collapsed to just $1M in Q1 2026.
• Revenue fell from $826M in Q2 2024 to $768M in Q1 2026, with year-over-year declines in every quarter since Q1 2025.
• Net income turned negative in Q1 2025 and has remained in loss territory through Q1 2026, versus $22M–$169M profits in prior quarters.
• Operating cash flow plunged from $368M in Q4 2024 to just $1M in Q1 2026, the weakest reading in the visible period.
• Total debt ticked up to $5,746M in Q4 2025–Q1 2026 after declining from $6,138M to $5,610M, stalling the deleveraging trend.
⚠ Debt rose to $5,746M in Q1 2026 — first sequential increase after five quarters of decline — while equity eroded to $2,113M.
⚠ Operating income dropped to $81M in Q1 2026 from $92M a year earlier; any further compression pressures debt-service capacity.
⚠ Operating CF of $1M in Q1 2026 vs. $132M in Q1 2025 raises near-term liquidity questions given the $5.7B debt load.
AI Insight: GTN Ratio Trends
Gray Media's profitability has collapsed year-over-year, with Q1 2026 operating margin at 10.5% versus 11.8% in Q1 2025, and net income firmly negative for four consecutive quarters.
• Operating margin fell from a peak of 31.1% in Q4 2024 to 10.5% in Q1 2026, erasing the political-cycle uplift entirely.
• Net profit margin has been negative in every quarter from Q1 2025 through Q1 2026, reaching -7.2% at its worst in Q2 2025.
• ROIC dropped from 16.4% in Q4 2024 to 4.1% in Q1 2026, the lowest level in the observed period.
• D/E ratio ticked back up to 2.72 in Q1 2026 after a trough of 2.46 in Q4 2024, signaling modest re-leveraging.
⚠ D/E has risen three consecutive quarters to 2.72 — with negative net income, debt reduction capacity is severely constrained.
⚠ Whether non-election-year trough margins stabilize above 10% in Q2–Q3 2026 will signal underlying cost structure health.
⚠ Q4 2025 operating margin of 14.6% showed modest sequential improvement but failed to approach Q4 2024's 31.1% political-ad peak.
