Cumulus: Q2 Earnings Snapshot
Broadcast radio weakness pushed quarterly revenue down 9.7% as Cumulus advanced its court-approved restructuring and awaited regulatory approvals.
On Thursday and Friday, ProQR Therapeutics NV and PrimeEnergy Resources Corporation reported second quarter 2026 earnings, with ProQR posting a $10.1 million loss and PrimeEnergy reporting $6.5 million in net income.
Strong oil prices provided a substantial offset to severe natural gas pricing in the Permian Basin, where PrimeEnergy's realized prices averaged negative $3.53 per Mcf, resulting in more than $9 million of negative natural gas revenue.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Charles E. Drimal, Jr. noted the company repurchased 31,290 shares for approximately $5.5 million during the quarter while drilling commenced on 24 horizontal wells in Martin and Upton Counties.
PrimeEnergy ended the quarter with $28.7 million in cash and no outstanding bank debt, improving from $7.4 million at year-end 2025, while ProQR posted its $10.1 million loss.
First production from the 24 horizontal wells is expected during the fourth quarter of 2026, with the company planning to invest approximately $52 million in 28 horizontal wells this year.
