Nexstar Media Group Raises Quarterly Cash Dividend by 50% to $1.35 Per Share

Dividend Represents a 2.8% Annualized Yield Based on the Closing Stock Price on January 26, 2023

Increase Marks Tenth Consecutive Annual Cash Dividend Increase

Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST) announced today that its Board of Directors approved a 50% increase to its quarterly cash dividend to $1.35 per share beginning with the dividend declared for the first quarter of 2023. The dividend is payable on Friday, February 24, 2023, to shareholders of record on Friday, February 10, 2023.

Perry Sook, Nexstar Media Group’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The 50% increase in our 2023 quarterly cash dividend substantially exceeds our historical compound annual dividend growth rate of 25%. This outsized increase highlights our confidence in Nexstar’s ability to continue to generate significant free cash flow and our commitment to return capital to shareholders.

“Our strong free cash flow enables us to not only increase the percentage of capital returned to shareholders in the form of dividends but also continue to opportunistically repurchase shares, as well as reduce debt and pursue strategic opportunities to create shareholder value.”

While the Company intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, all subsequent dividends will be reviewed quarterly and declared by the Board of Directors at its discretion.
