🔊 A New Era for Audacy: Restructuring and Renewal 🔊 In a significant move, Audacy has completed its financial restructuring, dramatically reducing its debt from $1.9 billion to just $350 million. This transformation not only positions the Philadelphia-based company for a robust future but also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the media landscape. Led by CEO David Field, Audacy is embarking on a new chapter, focusing on its strengths as a multi-platform audio leader, particularly in the realm of sports audio and digital innovation. As the company transitions into what is expected to be a privately held entity, it’s a pivotal moment for both the organization and its stakeholders. The implications of this restructuring extend beyond the balance sheet. With the FCC approving the assignment of licenses to a new version of Audacy, we witness how regulatory environments can shape the future of media companies. As Audacy takes ownership of over 200 radio stations, the conversation around media ownership, foreign investments, and the influence of major shareholders like Soros becomes increasingly pertinent. What does it mean for a company to adapt amidst scrutiny and public perception? How can organizations maintain transparency while navigating complex financial landscapes? The journey ahead for Audacy is not just about recovery; it’s about innovation and seizing new opportunities in a rapidly changing market. What lessons can we draw from this restructuring? #MediaRestructuring #Innovation #Leadership #BusinessTransformation #AudioIndustry

This approach isn’t just about finding “bargains” – it’s about recognizing untapped potential and leveraging #operational expertise to unlock value.

Any opportunity to use technology to deepen advisor-client engagement, and do it with efficiency at scale, is in the sweet-spot for Q Wealth. About a year ago we noticed accounting firms and lenders starting to use tools like interVal. We imagined the potential for deploying it in the wealth advisory space and reached out to CEO Trevor Greenway to propose the opportunity. The reality is, for most business owners, their business is the most important asset on their balance sheet. The traditional approach to financial planning is to just ask them what they think it’s worth - and that guess can be wildly inaccurate, leading to missed opportunities. interVal brings clarity to the plan, but so much more to the advisor’s ability to add value for clients. With interVal we’ll be able to identify opportunities like excess working capital held in the business which could be more productively deployed, or opportunities to expand the business through access to credit. We’ll also help spot key risks that could be addressed to ensure clients protect the value they’ve worked so hard to create. We’re truly excited by the possibilities, and are thrilled to support another global leader in fintech born right here in 🇨🇦 Canada! #wealthmanagement #fintech #canada
