NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
(1)
Interim Financial
 
Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations; therefore the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
As of December 31, 2020, the financial statements included the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and its investments in OutlawsXP, Inc. (“Outlaws”) and Renegades Holdings, Inc. (“Renegades”). The Company held an approximately 90% economic interest in Outlaws and an approximately 51% economic interest in Renegades as of December 31, 2020. Renegades held an approximately 10% economic interest in Outlaws as of December 31, 2020. On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange its ownership interest in Renegades for the interest held by Renegades in Outlaws. As a result of the exchange, Outlaws is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company no longer holds an economic interest in Renegades
.
Therefore,
the accounts of Renegades are no longer consolidated in the Company’s financial statements subsequent to the date of the exchange. Also, as a result of the exchange, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $3,000 attributable to the difference between the estimated fair value of the economic interest held by Renegades in Outlaws and the carrying amount of the Company’s ownership interest in Renegades in the first quarter of 2021. The Company used a discounted cash flow model with annual revenue growth rates ranging from 5% to 57%, operating margins ranging from (27)% to 67%, and a discount rate of 13.5% to determine the loss.
The
COVID-19
pandemic continues to create significant uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. It is reasonably possible that these uncertainties could materially impact the Company’s significant accounting estimates related to, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of FCC licenses and goodwill, and determination of
right-of-use
assets. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company’s estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its consolidated financial statements.
 
(2)
FCC Licenses
Licenses are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s licenses might be impaired. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that its licenses are impaired. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that its licenses are impaired, then the Company is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. The quantitative impairment test compares the fair value of the Company’s licenses with their carrying amounts. If the carrying amounts of the licenses exceed their fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. For the purpose of testing its licenses for impairment, the Company combines its licenses into reporting units based on its radio market clusters.
The Company did not identify any triggering events for impairment during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021.
Due to the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the U.S. economy, the Company tested its FCC licenses for impairment during the first quarter of 2020. As a result of the quantitative impairment test, the Company recorded impairment losses of $6.8 million related to the FCC licenses in its Atlanta, GA, Las Vegas, NV, Middlesex-Monmouth-Morristown, NJ, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, and Wilmington, DE radio market clusters. The impairment losses were primarily due to a decrease in projected revenue in these markets due to the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and an increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analyses to estimate the fair value of the FCC licenses due to certain risks specifically associated with the Company and the radio broadcasting industry. The fair values were estimated using an income approach. The income approach is based upon discounted cash flow analyses incorporating variables, such as projected radio market revenues, projected growth rate for radio market revenues, projected radio market revenue shares, projected radio station operating income margins, and a discount rate appropriate for the radio broadcasting industry. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses are as follows:

On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Indenture”). Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2021. The Notes are secured on a first-lien priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. The Company used the net proceeds from the Notes, to repay the credit facility, the promissory note, and a loan from Mr. George Beasley (see Note
 
10
) and to pay related accrued interest, fees and expenses. The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of its subsidiaries. Prior to February 1, 2025, the Company will be subject to certain premiums, as defined in the Indenture, for optional or mandatory (upon certain contingent events) redemption of some or all of the Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Notes and the repayment of the credit facility, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $5.0 million during the first quarter of 2021.
On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a loan with Synovus Bank for $10.0 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum and matures on March 1, 2026. Principal and interest payments will be deferred, with interest accruing, until after the period in which the Company may apply for loan forgiveness pursuant to the PPP. After the deferral period, the Company will make monthly principal and interest payments, amortized over the remaining term of the loan. The loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults or breaches of the terms of the promissory note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Synovus Bank may require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the Company can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. The loan is subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds are used for certain qualifying expenses pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. The Company intends to use the loan for qualifying expenses. However, no assurance can be provided that the Company will apply for or obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part.
As of December 31, 2020, the credit facility consisted of a term loan facility with a remaining balance of $238.0 million and a revolving credit facility with an outstanding balance of $20.0 million and a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. The revolving credit facility carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 4.4% as of December 31, 2020. The term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 5.25% as of December 31, 2020. As noted above, the credit facility was repaid on February 2, 2021, using a portion of the proceeds from the Notes offering.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation under a contract with an advertiser. The transaction price is allocated to performance obligations based on executed contracts which represent relative standalone selling prices. Payment is generally due within 30 days, although certain advertisers are required to pay in advance. Revenues are reported at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive under the contract. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet. Substantially all deferred revenue is recognized within twelve months of the payment date.

Audio revenue includes revenue from the sale or trade of aired commercial spots to advertisers directly or through national, regional or local advertising agencies. Each commercial spot is considered a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the commercial spots have aired. Trade sales are recorded at the estimated fair value of the goods or services received. If commercial spots are aired before the goods or services are received, then a trade sales receivable is recorded. If goods or services are received before the commercial spots are aired, then a trade sales payable is recorded. Other revenue includes revenue from concerts, promotional events, talent fees and other miscellaneous items. Such revenue is generally recognized when the concert, promotional event, or talent services are completed.

Third-party products are generally scheduled over a period of time with an impression target each month. Revenue from the sale of third-party products is recognized over time as the digital items are used for advertising content and impression targets are met each month.

Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s secured notes, based on available market information as of June 30, 2021, was $303.0 million. The Company used Level 2 measurements under the fair value measurement hierarchy to determine the estimated fair value of the secured notes. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt as of December 31, 2020 was $263.5 million, which approximated fair value based on current market
interest rates.

Segment Information
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company created a digital division that generates revenue primarily from the sale of digital advertising to customers of the Company’s radio stations and other advertisers throughout the United States. All digital operations are the responsibility of the Company’s Chief Digital Officer who reports to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s chief operating decision maker). As a result, the Company has identified two reportable segments, Audio and Digital. The Audio segment generates revenue primarily from the sale of commercial advertising to customers of the Company’s radio stations in the following radio markets: Atlanta, GA, Augusta, GA, Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC, Detroit, MI, Fayetteville, NC, Fort Myers-Naples, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Middlesex, NJ, Monmouth, NJ, Morristown, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, Tampa-Saint Petersburg, FL, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, and Wilmington, DE. Corporate includes general and administrative expenses and certain other income and expense items not allocated to the operating segments.
Non-operating
corporate items including interest expense and income taxes, are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The identification of segments is consistent with how the segments report to and are managed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

Financial Statement Presentation
The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our financial statements and general factors that impact these items.
Net Revenue.
Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of commercial spots to advertisers directly or through national, regional or local advertising agencies. Revenues are reported at the amount we expect to be entitled to receive under the contract. Local revenue generally consists of commercial advertising sales, digital advertising sales and other sales to advertisers in a radio station’s local market either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of commercial advertising sales through advertiser agencies. National advertiser agencies generally purchase advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.
Our net revenue is generally determined by the advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:
 
   
a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by periodic reports issued by Nielsen Audio;
 
   
the number of radio stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;
 
   
the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and
 
   
the size of the market.
 
14

Table of Contents
Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our radio market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues typically are lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year. In addition, our revenues tend to fluctuate between years, consistent with, among other things, increased advertising expenditures in even-numbered years by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter of such years.
We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.
We also continue to invest in digital support services to develop and promote our radio station websites, applications, and other distribution platforms. We derive revenue from our websites through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our radio stations over the internet. We also generate revenue from selling third-party digital products and services.
Operating Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of programming, engineering, sales, advertising and promotion, and general and administrative expenses incurred at our radio stations. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our radio market clusters.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
 
   
it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and
 
   
changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no additional material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have or will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Operating Expenses.
Operating expenses increased $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Significant factors affecting operating expenses included an increase in audio operating expenses primarily due to recovery from the
COVID-19
pandemic and an increase in digital operating expenses.
Corporate Expenses.
Corporate expenses increased $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The primary factor affecting corporate expenses was an increase in cash and stock-based compensation partially offset by an allocation of digital expenses from corporate expenses to operating expenses.
Other Operating Income, Net.
Other operating income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2021 includes life insurance proceeds of $3.0 million related to the death of Mr. George Beasley, the Company’s former Chairman, in June 2021, partially offset by certain payments totaling $1.5 million that were accrued in accordance with Mr. Beasley’s employment contract.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The primary factor affecting interest expense was an increase in long-term debt outstanding and the applicable interest rate.
Loss on Modification of Long-Term Debt.
We recorded a loss on modification of long-term debt of $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, resulting from an amendment to our credit agreement.
Income Tax Benefit.
Our effective tax rate was approximately (25)% and (120)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes, certain
non-taxable
income, and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Income (Loss).
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.2 million compared to net loss of $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the factors described above.

Corporate Expenses.
Corporate expenses decreased $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary factor affecting corporate expenses was an allocation of digital expenses from corporate expenses to operating expenses partially offset by an increase in cash and stock-based compensation.
Impairment Losses.
Due to the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the U.S. economy, we tested our FCC licenses for impairment during the first quarter of 2020. As a result of the quantitative impairment test, we recorded impairment losses of $6.8 million related to the FCC licenses in our Atlanta, GA, Las Vegas, NV, Middlesex-Monmouth-Morristown, NJ, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, and Wilmington, DE radio market clusters. The impairment losses were primarily due to a decrease in projected revenue in these markets due to the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and an increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analyses to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses due to certain risks specifically associated with the Company and the radio broadcasting industry.
Other Operating Income, Net.
Other operating income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes life insurance proceeds of $3.0 million related to the death of Mr. George Beasley, the Company’s former Chairman, in June 2021, partially offset by certain payments totaling $1.5 million that were accrued in accordance with Mr. Beasley’s employment contract, payments of $0.6 million for consulting services related to the
COVID-19
pandemic and expenses of $0.5 million related to the early termination of a programming contract.

Interest expense increased $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary factor affecting interest expense was an increase in long-term debt outstanding and the applicable interest rate.
Loss on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt.
We recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulting from the issuance of secured notes on February 2, 2021 and the use of proceeds to repay the credit facility. We recorded a loss on modification of long-term debt of $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, resulting from an amendment to our credit agreement.
Income Tax Benefit.
Our effective tax rate was approximately (24)% and (27)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of state income taxes, certain
non-taxable
income, and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Loss.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $10.5 million compared to a net loss of $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview.
 Our primary source of liquidity is internally generated cash flow. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter, are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and radio station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with radio station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our office and studio space, the maintenance of our radio towers and equipment, and digital products and information technology. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations.
In response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, our board of directors has suspended future quarterly dividend payments until it is determined that resumption of dividend payments is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, as discussed in “Secured Notes” below, the Indenture governing our Notes limits our ability to pay dividends.    
Secured Notes.
On February 2, 2021, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due on February 1, 2026 (the “Notes”) under an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the “Indenture”). Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2021. The Notes are secured on a first-lien priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries and are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. We used the net proceeds from the Notes, to repay the credit facility, the promissory note, and a loan from Mr. George Beasley (see Note 10 to the accompanying financial statements) and to pay related accrued interest, fees and expenses. The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock; pay dividends on, repurchase or make

distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create liens; enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; prepay certain kinds of indebtedness; and issue or sell stock of our subsidiaries.
PPP loan
. On March 1, 2021, we entered into a loan with Synovus Bank for $10.0 million pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act. The loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum and matures on March 1, 2026. Principal and interest payments will be deferred, with interest accruing, until after the period in which we may apply for loan forgiveness pursuant to the PPP. After the deferral period, we will make monthly principal and interest payments, amortized over the remaining term of the loan. The loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults or breaches of the terms of the promissory note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Synovus Bank may require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, we can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. The loan is subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds are used for certain qualifying expenses pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. We intend to use the loan for qualifying expenses. However, no assurance can be provided that we will apply for or obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part.
Credit Facility.
 As of December 31, 2020, the credit facility consisted of a term loan facility with a remaining balance of $238.0 million and a revolving credit facility with an outstanding balance of $20.0 million and a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. The revolving credit facility carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 4.4% as of December 31, 2020. The term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 5.25% as of December 31, 2020. As noted above, the credit facility was repaid on February 2, 2021, using a portion of the proceeds from the Notes offering.
On November 14, 2019, we acquired a majority interest in an esports team and issued a promissory note for $16.5 million to the seller. On June 30, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the promissory note applicable to the remaining balance. As amended, the promissory note bore
cash-pay
interest at 5% per annum payable quarterly in arrears and additional
payment-in-kind
interest at 10% per annum. The promissory note had a remaining balance of $5.5 million as of December 31, 2020. As noted above, the promissory note was repaid on February 2, 2021, using a portion of the proceeds from the Notes offering.
In June 2020, Mr. George Beasley, our former Chairman, provided a $5.0 million loan to the Company that accrued
payment-in-kind
interest at 6% per annum with no cash payments due until the loan’s maturity in December 2023. Mr. Beasley and GGB Family Limited Partnership also each entered into standby letters of credit in combined aggregate face amount of $5.0 million in favor of U.S. Bank, National Association for the benefit of the Company as a source of backup liquidity in the event we failed to maintain a minimum liquidity amount. As noted above, the loan was repaid on February 2, 2021, using a portion of the proceeds from the Notes offering.
From time to time, we repurchase sufficient shares of our common stock to fund withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock. We paid $0.1 million to repurchase 50,883 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:
 
   
internally generated cash flow;
 
   
additional borrowings or notes offerings, to the extent permitted under the Indenture governing our Notes; and
 
   
additional equity offerings.
We believe we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months and thereafter. However, poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could give rise to default under the Notes, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect, and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.
Cash Flows
. The following summary table presents a comparison of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.
