2. OUTFRONT Media's Q3 2025 Earnings: Strong Transit Revenue Growth

OUTFRONT Media reported a 3.5% increase in consolidated revenues and a 17% rise in OIBDA to $137 million for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) grew 24% to $100 million. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.57, beating estimates of $0.5. The revenue growth was largely driven by a 24% increase in transit revenue, with the New York MTA segment surging 37%. Billboard revenues, however, declined 2.2% due to exited contracts in New York and LA, but would have grown over 1% excluding these contracts. Digital revenues increased by over 12% and now represent 35.4% of total revenues. The OIBDA margin expanded, and the billboard adjusted OIBDA margin rose 170 basis points to 39.5%.

📋 Highlights
  • Revenue & Profit Growth: Consolidated revenues rose 3.5%, OIBDA surged 17% to $137M, and AFFO grew 24% to $100M, reflecting strong operational performance.
  • Transit Revenue Surge: Transit revenue jumped 24%, led by a 37% increase at the New York MTA, offsetting declines in billboard revenue (-2.2%) from contract exits in NY/LA.
  • Digital Momentum: Digital revenues rose over 12%, accounting for 35.4% of total revenue, signaling a successful shift toward tech-driven solutions.
  • Margins & Guidance: Billboard adjusted OIBDA margin climbed 170 bps to 39.5%, while AFFO guidance was raised to high single-digit growth for 2025.
  • Strategic Expansion: A $21M capex plan converted 29 new digital boards, partnered with AWS for inventory optimization, and secured major brands like Capital One and Chase via transit-focused growth teams.

Business Momentum and Strategic Developments

The company announced a strategic partnership with AWS to enhance the planning, buying, and measurement of its inventory. This move is expected to drive further growth in its digital segment. OUTFRONT's transit business has seen significant momentum, driven by a dedicated growth team that has attracted major brands like Capital One, Chase, and Unilever. The company views the transit medium as particularly exciting for these brands due to its specificity. As the company's CFO mentioned, the focus on sales, marketing, product marketing, and customer success has been key to this growth.

Outlook and Growth Opportunities

The company expects fourth-quarter revenue growth to slightly improve from Q3, with consolidated revenues projected to grow in the low to mid-single digits. OUTFRONT is optimistic about its relationships with major studios and its ability to gain share from competitors in the entertainment category, which is expected to recover in 2026. The World Cup presents an opportunity for brand experiences, with significant enterprise brands committing to sports sponsorship. The company generated $7-8 million in incremental revenue from temporary permitting for the Super Bowl and plans to extend this practice.

Valuation and Dividend

OUTFRONT Media's current valuation metrics indicate a P/E Ratio of 27.09 and a Dividend Yield of 8.18%. The EV/EBITDA ratio stands at 21.31, suggesting that the company's valuation is relatively high. However, the dividend yield is attractive, indicating a potentially stable return for investors. The net leverage has improved to 4.7x, and the dividend was maintained at $0.30. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 3.0%, which may not be sufficient to justify the current valuation multiples.
