Entravision’s expansive portfolio encompasses integrated marketing and media solutions, comprised of television, radio, and digital properties and data analytics services. The Company’s management has determined that the Company operates in three reportable segments as of December 31, 2015, based upon the type of advertising medium, which segments are television broadcasting, radio broadcasting, and digital media. Through June 30, 2014, the Company operated in two reportable segments, television broadcasting and radio broadcasting. On June 18, 2014, the Company acquired Pulpo Media Inc. (“Pulpo”), a leading provider of digital advertising services and solutions focused on reaching Hispanic audiences in the U.S. and Mexico. Beginning with the third quarter of 2014, the Company created a new operating segment, digital media, which consists of the operations of Pulpo. The Company’s segments results reflect information presented on the same basis that is used for internal management reporting and it is also how the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business. The Company believes that this information regarding the digital media segment is useful to readers of its financial statements. The results of this segment for the interim period between the acquisition date and the beginning of the third quarter of 2014 were not considered significant for reclassification. Additionally, the digital media segment was not significant to the Company’s operations prior to the acquisition of Pulpo (as discussed in Note 3), and therefore the segment information for periods prior to the third quarter of 2014 has not been restated. As of December 31, 2015, the Company owns and/or operates 56 primary television stations located primarily in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and the Washington, D.C. area. The Company’s television operations comprise the largest affiliate group of both the top-ranked primary television network of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”) and Univision’s UniMás network. Radio operations consist of 49 operational radio stations, 38 FM and 11 AM, in 18 markets located primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas and a national sales representation firm, Entravision Solutions. Entravision Solutions sells advertisements and syndicates radio programming to approximately 350 stations across the United States. The Company also owns and operates an online advertising platform that delivers digital advertising in a variety of formats to reach Hispanic audiences on Internet-connected devices.
