Cumulus Media Inc. (CMLS) Monday reported a wider loss for the fourth quarter, mainly on the back of expenses related to impairment of intangible assets.
For the three months, the firm posted net loss of $84.79 million or $0.51 per share, wider than the prior-year loss of $13.13 million or $0.14 per share.
Three analysts, on average, polled by Thomson Reuters estimated earnings per share of $0.06 for the reporting period. Analyst estimates typically exclude one-time items.
