So, Town Square is contemplating an IPO.
"Townsquare Media now says that as of the end of the first quarter, its outstanding indebtedness would’ve been $485.3 million..."
"For the just-ended second quarter, it’s expecting net income to be somewhere between $11.5 million and $12.5 million."
Now, these ain't CC numbers, but it does lead to some questions. They own 312 radio stations, but are only making about $50-million per year in net income? OK, let's say that the other quarters are better, and they make $60-million per year in net income.
To put this in human terms, they have $60-grand left over at the end of the year, and owe $485-grand on the mortgage. Anybody want to plunk down $16 bucks per share on that company? BTW, you won't really have any voting rights with that stock, so you won't have any say in the "management equity compensation plan, related to its coming conversion from an LLC (limited liability company) to a Delaware corporation." Or any other executive compensation for that matter.
