Nature of Business	1. NATURE OF BUSINESS Nature of Business Entravision Communications Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company") is a global advertising solutions, media and technology company. The Company's operations encompass integrated, end-to-end advertising solutions across multiple media, comprised of digital, television and audio properties. The Company's digital segment, whose operations are located in Latin America, Europe, the United States, Asia and Africa, reaches a global market, with a focus on advertisers in emerging economies that wish to advertise on digital platforms owned and operated primarily by global media companies. The Company's television and audio operations reach and engage U.S. Hispanics in the United States. The Company's management has determined that the Company operates in three reportable segments as of December 31, 2022, based upon the type of advertising medium: digital, television and audio (formerly radio). The Company's digital segment provides digital end-to-end advertising solutions that allow advertisers to reach online users worldwide. These solutions are comprised of four business units: • the Company's digital commercial partnerships business; • Smadex, the Company's programmatic ad purchasing platform; • the Company's mobile growth solutions business; and • the Company's digital audio business. Through the Company's digital commercial partnerships business – the largest of its digital business units – the Company acts as an intermediary between primarily global media companies and advertising customers or their ad agencies. The global media companies represented by the Company include Meta Platforms, or Meta (formerly known as Facebook Inc.), Twitter, Inc., or Twitter, ByteDance Ltd., or ByteDance, which owns the TikTok platform, and Spotify AB, or Spotify, as well as other media companies, in 30 countries throughout the world. The Company's dedicated local sales teams sell advertising space on these media companies' digital platforms to its advertising customers or their ad agencies for the placement of ads directed to online users of a wide range of Internet-connected devices. The Company also provides some of its advertising customers billing, technological and other support, including strategic marketing and training, which it refers to as managed services. Smadex is the Company's programmatic ad purchasing platform, on which advertisers can purchase ad inventory. This practice – the purchase and sale of advertising inventory electronically – is referred to in the Company's industry as programmatic advertising. Smadex is also a “demand-side" platform, which allows advertisers to purchase space from online marketplaces on which media companies list their advertising inventory. Most advertisements acquired through Smadex are placed on mobile devices, but they may also be placed on computers and Internet-connected televisions. The Company also provides managed services to some of its advertising customers in connection with their use of its Smadex platform. The Company also offers a mobile growth solutions business, which provides managed services to advertisers looking to connect with consumers, primarily on mobile devices. This business allows the Company to manage programmatic media buys for its advertising customers or their ad agencies through multiple ad purchasing platforms in real time across multiple channels. The Company's digital audio business provides digital audio advertising solutions for advertisers in the Americas. The Company's advertising customers and their ad agencies use these solutions to promote their brands on online audio streams, and provides them with tools to target specific users by demographic and geographic categories. The Company also has a diversified media portfolio that targets Hispanic audiences. The Company owns and/or operates 49 primary television stations located primarily in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Washington, D.C. The Company’s television operations comprise the largest affiliate group of both the top-ranked primary Univision television network of TelevisaUnivision Inc. (“TelevisaUnivision”) and TelevisaUnivision’s UniMás network. The Company owns and operates 45 radio stations in 14 U.S. markets. Its radio stations consist of 37 FM and 8 AM stations located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. The Company also sells advertisements and syndicates radio programming to more than 100 markets across the United States. The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company’s Business The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material effect on the Company's business, from both an operational and financial perspective, during the year ended December 31, 2022. Subject to the extent and duration of possible resurgences of the pandemic from time to time and the continuing uncertain economic environment that has resulted, in part, from the pandemic, the Company anticipates that the pandemic will continue to have little or no material effect on its business, from both an operational and financial perspective, in future periods. Nonetheless, the Company cannot give any assurance whether a resurgence or more prolonged impact of the pandemic in any location where its operations have employees or operates would not adversely affect its operations and/or results of operations. The Company elected to defer the employer portion of the social security payroll tax (6.2%) as provided in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020, commonly known as the CARES Act. The deferral was effective from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The deferred amount is considered to be timely paid if 50% is paid by December 31, 2021 and the remainder is paid by December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid 50% of the deferred amount and paid the remainder of the deferred amount on or before December 31, 2022.
