Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending March 31, 2026 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 26, 2026, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, and the section entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described herein or implied by such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to (i) "OUTFRONT Media," "the Company," "we," "our," "us" and "our company" mean OUTFRONT Media Inc., a Maryland corporation, and unless the context requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) the "approximately 120 markets in the U.S.," "25 largest markets" and "Nielsen Designated Market Areas" are based, in whole or in part, on Nielsen Media Research's 2026 Designated Market Area rankings.
Overview
OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that provides advertising space ("displays") on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the "U.S."), enabling advertisers to engage with audiences in high-impact in-real-life ("IRL") moments and environments. We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments-(1) Billboard and (2) Transit.
Business
We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. Our inventory consists of billboard displays primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas ("DMAs"), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. In total, we have displays in approximately 120 markets across the U.S., including the 25 largest markets. Our top market, location-focused portfolio includes sites in and around New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where public spaces can turn into platforms for creativity, connection and cultural relevance. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives by elevating brand influence and credibility through enterprise or commercial brand-building campaigns.
In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. We believe the continued evolution of out-of-home advertising audience measurement systems, including Geopath and alternative measurement systems, can enhance the value of the out-of-home medium, including transit inventory, by improving audience measurement and enabling more precise demographic and location-based targeting. As part of our investments in our technology platform, we are developing digital out-of-home offerings and capabilities that support full-funnel advertising objectives, including end-to-end campaign processing and automation, research and measurement, and demographic and location-based targeting.
We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive and trusted form of advertising, as our displays have an IRL presence, are always viewable, and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective stand-alone medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign using multiple forms of media (including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms) that bridges commerce, culture and community. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production, creative services and post-campaign tracking and analytics.
Economic Environment
Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary price increases, changes in governmental fiscal and trade policies (such as tariffs), pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), industry shutdowns or slowdowns (including due to labor strikes), extraordinary weather events (such as hurricanes and wildfires), and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), among other things. These
sensitivities may adversely impact our revenues and operating results on a consolidated basis and/or may have a disproportionate adverse impact on our Transit segment.
We rely on third parties to manufacture, transport and install our digital displays, and provide and support programmatic, direct sale and other advertising platform technologies (including artificial intelligence-assisted tools) for our digital display inventory. Historically, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays due to external events beyond our control. If we experience delays and/or price increases in the future, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Historically, we have experienced inflationary increases with respect to some of our posting, maintenance and other expenses, some of our corporate expenses, and our interest expense. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses over the remaining terms of the agreements. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of inflationary increases on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be fully or partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.
As of June 30, 2025, we completed a restructuring and reduction in force plan (the "Plan") intended to achieve the Company's strategic goals of increasing sales demand, enhancing customer experience, optimizing internal cost efficiencies, and realigning its organization. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $4.6 million in restructuring reserves related to severance payments, employee benefits and related costs remained outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Plan. (See Note 12. Restructuring Charges to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Business Environment
The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, supermarkets and taxis.
Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging IRL media messaging, provide our customers with the flexibility both to connect with target audiences and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four to five times more revenue per display on average than comparable traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than comparable traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than comparable traditional static billboard displays.
We have deployed state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises we operate. Revenues generated on our network of digital transit displays are generally higher than revenues generated on a comparable portfolio of our static transit displays.
We have incurred significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures, and intend to incur significant capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. Our annual costs with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the "MTA") transit franchise will be primarily focused on maintenance of existing MTA display locations for the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below).
Further, we believe the use of programmatic and direct sale advertising platform technologies in the out-of-home advertising industry will increase, which will present a revenue growth opportunity for us. Programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms allow out-of-home advertising companies to lease displays to customers at competitive rates through an online bidding process or through a direct sale process, and we have pursued, and continue to pursue, strategic opportunities to increase our participation in these platforms.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we built or converted 14 new digital billboard displays and entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 5 third-party digital billboard displays. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we built, converted or replaced 47 digital transit and other displays. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

United States $ 97.9 $ 44.7 $ 142.6 1,932 29,633 31,565
(a)Digital display amounts include 6,513 displays reserved for transit agency use. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.
Our revenues and profits fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control.
We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, legal services/lawyers and retail, each of which represented 18%, 12% and 10% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and legal services/lawyers, each of which represented 19%, 12% and 11% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments, respectively.
Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. We generated approximately 37% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments from enterprise advertising campaigns in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately 42% in the same prior-year period.
Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.
Key Performance Indicators
Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.
Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Analysis of Results of Operations
Revenues
We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our traditional contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit display revenues are recognized based on the level of units displayed in proportion to the total units to be displayed over the contract period. Billboard and Transit display revenues derived from impression-based sales contracts fulfilled on direct sales advertising platforms are recognized as revenue over the contract period based pro-rata on the number of impressions delivered in proportion to the total number of impressions to be delivered. Billboard display and Transit display revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are recognized as rental income as the related advertisement is displayed. Revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are based on agreements with the platforms, rather than direct contracts with individual advertisers. (See Note 11. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Operating Expenses
Three Months Ended
March 31, %
(in millions, except percentages) 2026 2025 Change
Operating expenses:
Billboard property lease $ 111.3 $ 109.2 2 %
Transit franchise 59.7 58.0 3
Posting, maintenance and other 56.5 54.1 4
Total operating expenses $ 227.5 $ 221.3 3
Billboard property lease expenses represented 26% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 28% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period were primarily due to higher Transit revenues, higher proceeds from condemnations and the impact of lost billboards in the period.
Billboard property lease expenses increased $2.1 million, or 2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.
Transit franchise expenses represented 14% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 15% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, was primarily driven by higher Transit revenues, mainly due to MTA revenues growing at a faster rate than the inflationary adjustment to the guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.
Transit franchise expenses increased $1.7 million, or 3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation.
Posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, were 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 14% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $2.4 million, or 4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher production expenses and higher maintenance and utility costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A expenses decreased $7.4 million, or 6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance and salaries, and lower credit card usage by customers, partially offset by higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, a higher allowance for bad debt and higher client entertainment expenses. We expect to realize the cost savings benefits from the Plan within SG&A expenses. However, those cost savings may potentially be offset by increases in SG&A expenses in future periods as we continue to invest in our strategic initiatives, including technology enhancements and customer experience improvements.
Net Loss on Dispositions
Net loss on dispositions increased $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Depreciation
Depreciation decreased $2.9 million, or 12%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in fully-depreciated assets.
Amortization
Amortization increased $0.1 million, or 1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, was $36.0 million (including $1.4 million of deferred financing costs) in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $36.0 million (including $1.5 million of deferred financing costs) in the same prior-year period. Interest expense, net, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, was comparable to the same prior-year period.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased $0.1 million, or 20%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests was $19.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to Net loss before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests of $20.7 million in the same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher transit revenues and higher proceeds from condemnations.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted OIBDA
We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions and
stock-based compensation. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management's opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.
FFO and AFFO
When used herein, references to "FFO" and "AFFO" mean "FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc." and "AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.," respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management's opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.
Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.
The following table reconciles Operating income to Adjusted OIBDA, and Net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. to FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. and AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of the cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

Segment Results of Operations
We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the "Key Performance Indicators" section of this MD&A and Note 18. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments-(1) Billboard and (2) Transit. Included in Other are operating results for third-party digital equipment sales, which does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment.
The following table presents our Revenues, Adjusted OIBDA and Operating income by segment in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Billboard segment revenues increased $22.2 million, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, reflecting higher proceeds from condemnations and an increase in average revenue per display (yield), including the impact of programmatic platforms on digital billboard revenues, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period. We expect lost billboards to continue to adversely impact Billboard segment revenue performance in the first half of 2026, particularly in the Los Angeles metropolitan areas. We generated approximately 34% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 39% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, of our Billboard segment revenues from enterprise advertising campaigns.
Billboard segment property lease expenses represented 33% of Billboard segment revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 35% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Billboard segment property lease expenses increased $2.1 million, or 2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher variable billboard property lease costs, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period. Billboard segment posting maintenance and other expenses increased $1.4 million, or 4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher maintenance and utilities, higher site-related costs and higher compensation-related expenses.
SG&A expenses in the Billboard segment increased $1.3 million, or 2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, and a higher allowance for bad debt, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers and lower compensation-related expenses.
Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $17.4 million, or 18%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period. Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA margin was 35.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 31.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Transit segment revenues increased $17.3 million, or 22%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts. We generated approximately 49% in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 54% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, of our Transit segment revenues from enterprise advertising campaigns.
Transit segment franchise expenses represented 63% of Transit segment revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 75% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Transit segment franchise expenses increased $1.7 million, or 3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation. Transit segment posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $1.3 million, or 8%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher display production costs and higher posting and rotation costs.
SG&A expenses in the Transit segment increased $1.5 million, or 9%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses, including severance and commissions, higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.
Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA loss decreased $12.8 million, or 90%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a larger increase in Transit segment revenues compared to a smaller increase in Transit segment operating expenses.
Other
Total Other revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 26%, operating expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 17%, and Other Adjusted OIBDA decreased $0.3 million, or 60%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a decrease in third-party digital equipment sales.
Corporate
Corporate expenses primarily include expenses associated with employees who provide centralized services. Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased $6.3 million, or 30%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance, and lower professional fees, including fees related to a management consulting project.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.
Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.
In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire or divest businesses, assets or digital technology, directly or in connection with joint ventures (including buy/sell arrangements with joint venture partners) or in connection with other strategic transactions. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions and transaction-related expenses will be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.
Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.
Although we have taken several actions to date to enhance our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected if cash on hand and operating cash flows
decrease in 2026, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the "Overview" section of this MD&A.)
Working capital was a deficit of $90.7 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to a deficit of $41.6 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily driven by a lower cash balance, lower receivables and higher short-term operating lease liabilities, partially offset by lower bonus accruals, lower accounts payable and lower accrued interest.
Under our current agreement with the MTA (as amended, the "MTA Agreement"):
•Deployments. We must deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, which amounts are subject to the ability of the MTA to fulfill its pre-installation obligations under the MTA Agreement. We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the "New Inventory").
•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. Recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including impairment charges. If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which were deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, were paid directly by the MTA. All other deployment costs are subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the three months ended March 31, 2026. However, we do expect to recoup some equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement, beginning in 2026. We expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $35.0 million in 2026 and approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. These equipment deployment costs primarily encompass maintenance costs (including equipment replacement costs) for existing MTA display locations.
•Payments. We must pay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. The MTA Agreement also provides that if prior to April 1, 2028 the balance of unrecovered costs of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system is equal to or less than zero, then in any year following the year in which such recoupment occurs (the "Recoupment Year"), the MTA is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the annual base revenue amount for such year calculated in accordance with the MTA Agreement, provided that gross revenues in such year (i) were at least equal to the gross revenues generated in the Recoupment Year, and (ii) did not decline by more than 5% from the prior year.
•Term. In July 2021, we extended the initial 10-year term of the MTA Agreement to a 13-year base term (the "Amended Term"). We have the option to extend the Amended Term for an additional five-year period at the end of the Amended Term, subject to satisfying certain quantitative and qualitative conditions.
We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund costs under the MTA Agreement over the next couple of years. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of March 31, 2026, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $72.3 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. As indicated in the table below, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred equipment deployment costs of $1.4 million, for a total of $630.4 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date. As of March 31, 2026, 27,354 digital displays had been installed, composed of 5,015 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 15,904 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 6,435 MTA communications displays. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, no installations occurred. We substantially completed our initial deployment in 2024, with the remaining deployment
required under the MTA Agreement subject to satisfaction of various conditions and work to be performed by the MTA. We are currently only performing maintenance operations, and replacing damaged and broken displays.
We currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending and/or would expect to recoup a portion of deployment cost spending. Based on MTA revenue performance in the first quarter of 2026 and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we currently expect to recoup a portion of equipment deployment cost spending beginning in 2026. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in impairment charges in the future and/or the failure to recoup any deployment cost spending.

Total $ 3,127.0 $ 141.8 $ 860.7 $ 1,134.8 $ 989.7
Term Loan
The interest rate on the term loan due in 2032 (the "Term Loan") was 5.7% per annum as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, a discount of $0.7 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Revolving Credit Facility
We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2030 (the "Revolving Credit Facility," together with the Term Loan, the "Senior Credit Facilities").
As of March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $5.1 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities
As of March 31, 2026, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $67.2 million under our aggregate $81.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities were immaterial in each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
As of March 31, 2026, we have a $150.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility"), which terminates in June 2027, unless further extended.
In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") (the "Originators"), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company's qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the "QRS SPV") or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company's TRS accounts receivable assets (the "TRS SPV" and together with the QRS SPV, the "SPVs"). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the "Purchasers"). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs' assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs' assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility. As of March 31, 2026, borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was $150.0 million based on approximately $351.4 million of accounts receivable that could be used as collateral for the AR Facility in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was $0.1 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Facility, and the indentures governing our senior notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that restrict the Company's and its subsidiaries' abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company's or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC's, capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status and/or avoid incurring taxes, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness or grant additional liens. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.5 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2026, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.4 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) require that we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.5 to 1.0 (subject to potential acquisition-related adjustments). As of March 31, 2026, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.5 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.
Deferred Financing Costs
As of March 31, 2026, we had deferred $19.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, the AR Facility and our senior notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior notes.
Equity
At-the-Market Equity Offering Program
We have a sales agreement in connection with an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. No shares were sold under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.
Cash Flows
The following table presents our cash flows in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Three Months Ended
March 31, %
(in millions, except percentages) 2026 2025 Change
Net cash flow provided by operating activities $ 75.3 $ 33.6 124 %
Net cash flow used for investing activities (38.0) (24.7) 54
Net cash flow used for financing activities (70.0) (25.3) 177
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ (32.7) $ (16.4) 99
Cash provided by operating activities increased $41.7 million, or 124%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, and the timing of accounts receivables and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenues.
Cash used by investing activities increased $13.3 million, or 54%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to an increase in capital expenditures and the equity investment in AdQuick, Inc. (see Note 7. Related Party Transactions to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The following table presents our capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Three Months Ended
March 31, %
(in millions, except percentages) 2026 2025 Change
Growth $ 17.1 $ 10.9 57 %
Maintenance
7.0 6.3 11
Total capital expenditures $ 24.1 $ 17.2 40
Capital expenditures increased $6.9 million, or 40%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to increased growth in digital displays, increased maintenance spending for billboard display upgrades and increased spending for safety-related projects.
For the full year of 2026, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $90.0 million, which will be used primarily for new and replacement digital displays, safety-related projects, software and technology, the renovation of certain office facilities and maintenance. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA Agreement (as described above).
Cash used for financing activities increased $44.7 million, or 177%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid total cash dividends of $53.4 million on our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid total cash dividends of $53.0 million on our common stock, the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees and drew net borrowings on the AR Facility of $40.0 million.
Cash paid for income taxes increased $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to the timing of estimated tax payments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments and letters of credit. (See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.
For information regarding accounting policies we consider to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.
For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.
