What were the key financial metrics (revenue, EBITDA, net income) reported for Q2 2025 and how do they compare to the prior quarter and year‑over‑year?

Answer – Based on the information you provided

The press‑release excerpt you shared does not contain the actual numbers for Cumulus Media’s Q2 2025 financial performance (i.e., the specific revenue, EBITDA, and net‑income figures) nor does it give the comparative figures for the prior quarter (Q1 2025) or the same quarter a year earlier (Q2 2024). Consequently, it’s not possible to give the exact financial metrics or calculate the quarter‑over‑quarter (QoQ) and year‑over‑year (YoY) changes from this snippet alone.

What To Do Next

Locate the full press release – The full GlobeNewswire release (or the accompanying SEC filing / earnings release) will contain a table or narrative that lists:
- Revenue (or “Net Revenue”) for the three‑month period ended June 30 2025, and for the three‑month period ended March 31 2025 (the prior quarter).
- Adjusted EBITDA (or “EBITDA”) for those same periods.
- Net Income (or Net Loss) for the same periods.
Extract the numbers – Once you have the figures, you can compute:
- Quarter‑over‑Quarter (QoQ) change = (Q2 2025 value – Q1 2025 value) ÷ Q1 2025 value × 100 %
- Year‑over‑Year (YoY) change = (Q2 2025 value – Q2 2024 value) ÷ Q2 2024 value × 100 %
Present the comparison – A typical summary would look like:

Metric	Q2 2025	Q1 2025	Q2 2024	QoQ Δ	YoY Δ
Revenue	$ X million	$ Y million	$ Z million	%Δ	%Δ
EBITDA (adjusted)	$ A million	$ B million	$ C million	%Δ	%Δ
Net Income (or Loss)	$ M million (loss)	$ N million (loss)	$ O million (loss)	%Δ	%Δ

Interpret the results – You can then comment on:
- Revenue trend (e.g., growth driven by higher advertising sales, or a decline due to market‑wide ad spending slowdown).
- EBITDA trend (e.g., improvement due to cost‑control measures, or deterioration due to higher operating costs).
- Net‑income trend (e.g., a swing from loss to profit, or an increased loss).

Quick Guidance on Finding the Data

GlobeNewswire often includes a “Full Press Release” link (usually a PDF or a full‑text HTML page).
SEC filings (Form 8‑K, 10‑Q, or 10‑K) will contain the same figures in a more detailed format.
If you have access to a financial data platform (Bloomberg, FactSet, S&P Capital IQ), you can look up the ticker CMLS and pull the “Quarterly Results” section.

Bottom line: The excerpt you supplied does not provide the revenue, EBITDA, or net‑income figures for Q2 2025, nor does it include prior‑quarter or prior‑year data. To answer the question, you will need to retrieve the complete press release or the company’s filing that contains the detailed financial tables. Once those numbers are in hand, you can calculate the QoQ and YoY changes as described above.
