First Quarter 2026 Results

Consolidated Results
Reported revenues of $429.6 million increased $38.9 million, or 10.0%, for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same prior-year period.

Total operating expenses of $227.5 million increased $6.2 million, or 2.8%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, higher transit franchise costs, including higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) due to inflation, higher production expenses, and higher maintenance and utilities costs, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $107.3 million decreased $7.4 million, or 6.5%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance and salaries, and lower credit card usage by customers, partially offset by higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, a higher allowance for bad debt and higher client entertainment expenses.

Adjusted OIBDA of $100.4 million increased $36.2 million, or 56.4%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Segment Results

Billboard
Reported billboard segment revenues of $332.9 million increased $22.2 million, or 7.1%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher proceeds from condemnations and an increase in average revenue per display (yield), including the impact of programmatic platforms on digital billboard revenues, partially offset by lost billboards in the period.

Operating expenses increased $3.5 million, or 2.4%, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease costs, higher maintenance and utilities, higher site-related costs, and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.

SG&A expenses increased $1.3 million, or 1.9%, due primarily to higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, and a higher allowance for bad debt, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers and lower compensation-related expenses.

Adjusted OIBDA of $116.4 million increased $17.4 million, or 17.6%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Transit
Reported transit segment revenues of $95.0 million increased $17.3 million, or 22.3%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts.

Operating expenses increased $3.0 million, or 4.0%, due primarily to higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation, higher display production costs, and higher posting and rotation costs.

SG&A expenses increased $1.5 million, or 8.7%, due primarily to higher compensation-related expenses, including severance and commissions, higher professional fees, including higher software and technology expenses, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.

Adjusted OIBDA loss decreased $12.8 million, or 90.1%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Other
Reported revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 26.1%, operating expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 16.7%, and Adjusted OIBDA decreased $0.3 million, or 60.0%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a decrease in third-party digital equipment sales.

Corporate
Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased $6.3 million, or 29.9%, compared to the same prior-year period to $14.8 million, due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance, and lower professional fees, including fees related to a management consulting project.

Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $36.0 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.4 million, as compared to $36.0 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million, in the same prior-year period. The weighted average cost of debt was 5.3% as of March 31, 2026 and 5.4% as of March 31, 2025.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased $0.1 million, or 20.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. Cash paid for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.4 million.

Net Income Attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Net income attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a Net loss attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. of $20.6 million in the same prior-year period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 177.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 166.4 million for the same prior-year period. Net income per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share was $0.11 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a Net loss per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share of $0.14 in the same prior-year period.

FFO
FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $63.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $37.0 million, or 139.6%, from the same prior-year period, driven primarily by higher Adjusted OIBDA.

AFFO
Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $61.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $33.9 million, or 125.1%, from the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher Adjusted OIBDA and a higher non-cash effect of straight-line rent, partially offset by lower equity earnings.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $75.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $41.7 million, or 124.1%, compared to $33.6 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, the timing of accounts receivables and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenues. Total capital expenditures increased $6.9 million, or 40.1%, to $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to increased growth in digital displays, increased maintenance spending for billboard display upgrades and increased spending for safety-related projects.

Dividends
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid cash dividends of $53.4 million on our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. We announced on May 7, 2026, that our board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.30 per share payable on June 30, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2026.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, our liquidity position included unrestricted cash of $67.2 million and $494.9 million of availability under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $5.1 million of issued letters of credit against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the revolving credit facility, and $150.0 million of additional availability under our accounts receivable securitization facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no shares of our common stock were sold under our at-the-market equity offering program, of which $232.5 million remains available. Total indebtedness as of March 31, 2026 was $2.6 billion, excluding $14.8 million of deferred financing costs, and includes a $500.0 million term loan, $450.0 million of senior secured notes and $1.7 billion of senior unsecured notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) provided throughout this document, this document and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures as described below. We calculate and define “Adjusted OIBDA” as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions and stock-based compensation. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures.  It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs. Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Please see Exhibits 4-5 of this release for a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

NOTES TO EXHIBITS

PRIOR PERIOD PRESENTATION CONFORMS TO CURRENT REPORTING CLASSIFICATIONS.

(a)

Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of the cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

*     Calculation not meaningful.

Anrok launches MCP server, putting your tax data inside the AI tools your team already uses

Published

on

By

Ask in plain language, get an answer that spans your billing system and Anrok, and act on it without opening a dashboard.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anrok, the AI-native tax infrastructure for global commerce, today launched the Anrok MCP. It is a direct connection between your Anrok account and the AI assistants your team already works in, including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code. Your team can read transactions, filings, exposure, customers, exemption certificates, and products, then act on what it finds without leaving the conversation.

Finance teams adopted AI assistants faster than their finance systems. A controller can ask an assistant to draft a memo or model a scenario. But to answer, “did we collect the right tax in July?” they close the assistant, open a dashboard, run an export, and build a spreadsheet. Anrok believes your tax data shouldn’t stay behind a login.

Anrok MCP puts tax data in the same thread as everything else your assistant can reach, including your billing system, your inbox, and your spreadsheets.

“Finance teams are increasingly doing their work directly with AI agents and their tax data should be in there with them,” said Brad Silicani, CEO at Anrok. “Ask it to reconcile your billing system and Anrok, and you get the reconciliation in minutes for your close. The AI does the thinking, and Anrok MCP exposes the tools. It’s the same platform either way, and it’s accurate underneath.”

What your team can do

Anrok MCP includes 30+ tools across transactions, filings, exposure, customers, exemption certificates, and products. Your team can:

Reconcile Anrok against your billing system and find the gap before you remit.Pull a revenue or transaction answer without building a report.Review a filing before Anrok submits it and avoid the amended return.Debug a single transaction without opening a support ticket.Get a recommended tax category for a new SKU, then map it so it never falls through again.Catch exemption certificates before they lapse.

The MCP also writes. It can create a product, create a customer, create or update a transaction, and upload a certificate. Every write shows what moved, so you can check it.

One platform behind one connection

Anrok MCP is part of Headless Tax, the way into Anrok’s platform through the Anrok APIs and MCP. Behind it, one platform runs all five tax jobs: monitor and manage, register, calculate, file and remit, and reconcile and audit. That includes reconciliation, which no other tax platform has built in. One source of truth means one connection reaches your transactions, filings, exposure, customers, and certificates. The same intelligence powers Anrok across the dashboard, the API, and your agents.

“Anrok’s MCP cut our monthly Stripe-to-Anrok reconciliation from 4 hours to 30 minutes.” —Christie Perez, Indirect Tax Manager at Webflow

Availability

Anrok MCP is available now to Anrok customers. Connect from your AI tool’s connector settings, approve the scopes, and start asking. Documentation is at https://apidocs.anrok.com/mcp/.

About Anrok

Anrok is the AI-native tax infrastructure for global commerce. More than 5,500 users run sales tax and VAT/GST compliance on Anrok across 150+ countries, with more than $100B in processed volume. One platform runs all five compliance jobs, monitoring, registration, calculation, filing and remittance, and reconciliation, which no other tax platform has built in. Teams reach it however they work, in the product with Anrok Atlas, through the Anrok APIs, or by handing the job to an agent. The result is every tax dollar owed, collected, so tax becomes a pass-through instead of an expense.

Alternative Data Market to Reach USD 40.35 Billion by 2035 as AI Developers and Corporations Expand Data Buying, Credence Research Finds

Published

on

By

LONDON, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Credence Research Inc. has added a new global Alternative Data Market study to its market intelligence portfolio, examining the competitive, technological and regulatory factors shaping demand through 2035.

The global alternative data market was valued at USD 6.32 billion in 2025 and is projected to increase to USD 7.56 billion in 2026 before reaching USD 40.35 billion by 2035, according to Credence Research. The forecast represents a 20.37% compound annual growth rate from 2025 to 2035. All market sizes, segment shares and regional shares are Credence Research estimates.

Key Takeaways

Credence Research estimates 2025 revenue of USD 6.32 billion and a 2035 market value of USD 40.35 billion, equivalent to 20.37% annualized growth over 10 years.North America represented 57.3% of modeled global value in 2025.Card and receipt transactions led the data type category with a 22.4% share.Hedge funds accounted for 24.6% of the end user category.Web-scraped data is forecast to grow at 24.00% annually, while Technology and AI developers is projected at 28.50%.The analysis distinguishes market revenue from adjacent products and services to avoid treating unrelated spending as part of the addressable market.

Scope & Segmentation – Alternative Data Market

The study measures licensed nontraditional datasets used for investment research, commercial intelligence and AI applications, including card and receipt panels, web traffic, app use, web-scraped information, geolocation, satellite data and sentiment feeds. Conventional market prices, ratings, cloud storage and consulting fees are excluded. Revenue is allocated to the buyer geography and is expressed in current U.S. dollars. The report evaluates the commercial drivers, market restraints, supplier positions and technology transitions affecting this defined market.

By data type: Card and receipt transactions; Web traffic and app usage; Web-scraped data; Geolocation and foot traffic; Satellite and weather data; Social and sentiment data; Other ESG, employment and B2B data.By end user: Hedge funds; Asset managers and investment institutions; Retail and consumer companies; Technology and AI developers; Other corporates and public sector.By region: North America; Europe; Asia Pacific; Latin America; Middle East and Africa.

Why This Report Matters

Defines the revenue boundary around purchased information rather than bundling unrelated analytics software and financial reference data.Compares investment-firm demand with newer corporate and AI developer use cases, including the privacy and licensing requirements that shape adoption.Provides a framework for evaluating vendor quality, consent, geographic coverage and data reliability before buyers commit to long-term contracts.

Market Overview

Alternative data vendors increasingly sell the same underlying information to different buyer groups. Quantitative funds use transaction, web and location panels to estimate business performance before quarterly filings. Retailers apply those signals to site selection and competitor analysis, while AI developers license web and app information for model training and retrieval workflows.

The forecast reflects a modeled change in buyer adoption, supplier economics and product mix rather than a guarantee of future transactions. Credence Research evaluates these mechanisms alongside recent regulatory and corporate developments. Decision-makers should distinguish disclosed company announcements from estimates of total market revenue.

Market Insights

Base year: 2025; forecast horizon: 2035; modeled CAGR: 20.37%.Largest modeled geography: North America (57.3% of 2025 value).Leading categories: Card and receipt transactions (22.4%) and Hedge funds (24.6%).Fast-growth categories: Web-scraped data (24.00% CAGR) and Technology and AI developers (28.50% CAGR).Geographic and segment shares are proprietary Credence Research model outputs, not audited vendor market-share disclosures.

Market Segmentation Analysis

By data type

Card and receipt transaction panels led data types with 22.4% of 2025 spending because they can help estimate consumer revenue before corporate reporting. Web-scraped information is the fastest-growing data type in the model, supported by price monitoring, job-posting analysis and licensed AI data feeds.

By end user

Hedge funds accounted for 24.6% of 2025 end-user spending. Technology and AI developers have the faster modeled growth rate as demand expands from trading signals into model training, retrieval systems and agent-ready data services.

Card and receipt transactions held 22.4% of the data type segment in 2025, while Hedge funds led the end user split at 24.6%. Credence Research forecasts faster growth for Web-scraped data (24.00% a year) and Technology and AI developers (28.50% a year). These figures represent market estimates and are not company-reported results.

Market Drivers and Opportunities

Faster commercial signals

Card-spending, store-visit and app-usage panels can reveal operating trends before financial results are released. Funds buy such feeds to build forecasts, while retailers use them to compare competitors and local markets. Data coverage, representativeness and historical consistency determine whether these signals justify recurring subscription fees.

AI training and agent-ready feeds

Model developers are seeking licensed and documented sources of web, app and commerce data. Vendors that deliver clean feeds through APIs and data marketplaces can reach customers outside the hedge fund sector. Contracts for model training also require clear rights to collect, transform and reuse source information.

Distribution through existing research platforms

Financial-information terminals and cloud marketplaces reduce the engineering work required to test a new dataset. Bloomberg’s 2025 integration of Similarweb traffic data is one example of this route to market. Distribution can broaden adoption, although vendors may surrender part of the economics to aggregators.

Regional Analysis

Credence Research estimates the following shares of global 2025 revenue: North America 57.3%; Europe 22.1%; Asia Pacific 14.6%; Latin America 3.1%; Middle East and Africa 2.9%. These allocations sum to 100% and reflect buyer location rather than the location of manufacturing or company headquarters.

North America led the market in 2025, supported by its established buyer base, supplier relationships and industry infrastructure. Europe and Asia Pacific are also material demand centers, although the competitive mix and procurement requirements vary by country. The smaller regions may record high percentage growth from a limited starting base, and such rates should not be mistaken for leadership in absolute spending.

North America benefits from a dense concentration of quantitative funds, financial data platforms and AI developers. European buyers must navigate stringent personal-data rules, which increases demand for licensed and aggregated feeds. Asia Pacific adds demand from financial centers and domestic digital platforms but faces varying localization requirements.

Market Challenges

Sensitive geolocation and transaction data create privacy, consent and national-security concerns. U.S. enforcement actions and cross-border data restrictions make diligence a core purchase requirement. Panel drift, incomplete histories and nonrepresentative samples can undermine the value of apparently timely signals; a faster feed is not necessarily a better forecast.

Buyers should also evaluate the total cost of adoption, interoperability with existing systems, vendor continuity and country-specific compliance obligations. Those factors can lengthen purchasing decisions even where the long-term growth thesis remains intact. The study distinguishes these commercial constraints from the market forecast itself.

Future Outlook

North America holds the largest modeled share because it hosts many hedge funds, data vendors and AI companies. Asia Pacific has the fastest forecast regional growth as investment institutions and local digital platforms expand. The strongest opportunities lie in licensed, traceable and AI-ready datasets that meet regulatory and quality standards.

Through 2035, suppliers that convert product capabilities into repeatable deployments, transparent pricing and reliable support should be better positioned than firms relying only on early demonstrations. Credence Research expects growth to vary across customer types and geographies rather than advance evenly each year.

Competitive Landscape

The market includes established multinational suppliers and specialized technology or service providers. Competition centers on product performance, customer relationships, integration capabilities, delivery reliability and the ability to meet sector-specific standards. The companies listed below participate in different parts of the value chain; their inclusion does not imply identical offerings or a verified ranking by market share.

Competitive analysis should distinguish vendors that directly sell the products or services in the defined scope from adjacent technology providers and end users. Credence Research uses supplier disclosures and industry evidence to assess participation. Comparable revenue for the narrow market definition is rarely disclosed, so this release does not assign unsupported individual company shares.

Recent Developments

June 2025: Bloomberg made Similarweb web-traffic analytics available through the Bloomberg Terminal ALTD function alongside other alternative datasets. 

January 2025: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission finalized its order restricting Gravy Analytics and Venntel from selling sensitive location data. 

Report Coverage

The full study covers market size and forecast, competitive conditions, value-chain structure, product and application segmentation, regional demand, market drivers, restraints, opportunities and regulatory developments. It provides a 2025 baseline and 2035 outlook and identifies areas where supplier disclosures support, but do not independently establish, Credence Research market estimates.
