Nexstar Media Group (NASDAQ: NXST), a leading diversified media company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021. “Nexstar’s strong operating and financial growth momentum as well as our commitment to enhancing shareholder value was highlighted again in the second quarter as we delivered another period of outstanding financial results and industry-leading capital returns. Record second quarter net revenue reflects our team’s success in generating a faster and stronger-than-anticipated recovery in core advertising as well as continued double-digit distribution revenue growth,” said Perry A. Sook, chairman and CEO of Nexstar Media Group. “Overall, our record second quarter net revenue of $1.13 billion, net income of $199.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $418.8 million were well ahead of consensus expectations, while free cash flow of $181.2 million was impacted by the timing of 2021 operating cash tax payments. With our year-to-date operating results pacing ahead of internal forecasts, we are raising our pro-forma average annual free cash flow guidance for the 2021/2022 cycle by $60 million to approximately ~$1.33 billion.”
