In 2025, the company procured newsprint and specialty paper grades from 13 domestic and international suppliers, including three mills located in the United States. Approximately 8% of the domestic newsprint purchases contained recycled content. The total newsprint consumption was approximately 78,000 metric tons, representing an 18% decrease compared to 2024. The newsprint supply chain has been influenced by mill closures, consolidations, and conversions to other paper products. North American suppliers have increased their share of the global market. Domestic newsprint supply remains susceptible to supply chain disruptions and pricing volatility due to economic and geopolitical factors, including tariffs. The company is also exposed to risks from macroeconomic conditions such as trade policy, inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events, which have affected advertising revenues and expenditures. As of December 31, 2025, the company holds a $900 million five-year first lien term loan facility, accounting for approximately 75% of its outstanding debt. Additionally, the company faces foreign currency exchange rate risks related to its U.K. operations. Revenue seasonality impacts the company, with the USA TODAY Media segment most affected in the third quarter and the LocaliQ segment primarily impacted during the first half of the fiscal year.
