Description of business and basis of presentation	NOTE 1 — Description of business and basis of presentation Description of business Gannett Co., Inc. ("Gannett", "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") is a diversified media company with expansive reach at the national and local level dedicated to empowering and enriching communities. We seek to inspire, inform, and connect audiences as a sustainable, growth focused media and digital marketing solutions company. Through our trusted brands, including the USA TODAY NETWORK, comprised of the national publication, USA TODAY, and local media organizations, including our network of local properties, in the United States (the "U.S."), and Newsquest, a wholly-owned subsidiary operating in the United Kingdom (the " U.K. "), we provide essential journalism, local content, and digital experiences to audiences and businesses. We deliver high-quality, trusted content with a commitment to balanced, unbiased journalism, where and when consumers want to engage. We prioritize a digital-first strategy, focusing on audience growth and engagement while diversifying revenue streams. Our digital marketing solutions brand, LocaliQ, supports small and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") with innovative digital marketing products and solutions. Our mission remains to inspire, inform, and connect communities while driving sustainable growth for our customers, advertisers, partners, and shareholders. The Company reports in three segments: Domestic Gannett Media , Newsquest and Digital Marketing Solutions (" DMS "). We also have a Corporate and other category that includes activities not directly attributable to a specific reportable segment and includes broad corporate functions, such as legal, human resources, accounting, analytics, finance, marketing and technology, as well as other general business costs. A full description of our reportable segments is included in Note 14 — Segment reporting . Basis of presentation The Consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of entities which Gannett controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest ("subsidiaries"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, and the Company consolidates entities that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the Consolidated financial statements include pension and postretirement benefit obligation assumptions, income taxes, goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis, valuation of property, plant, and equipment and the mark to market of the conversion feature associated with the convertible debt. Reclassifications Certain reclassificatio ns have been made to the prior year Consolidated financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, the Company updated the presentation of its revenues to reflect the disaggregation between Digital revenues and Print and commercial revenues. These reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss), stockholders' equity or cash flows as previously reported.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	NOTE 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and supplementary cash flow information Cash equivalents represent highly liquid certificates of deposit which have original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash is held as cash collateral for certain business operations. Restricted cash primarily consists of funding for letters of credit, cash held in an irrevocable grantor trust for our deferred compensation plans and cash held with banking institutions for insurance plans. The following table presents a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $ 106,299 $ 100,180 $ 94,255 Restricted cash, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets 278 371 563 Restricted cash, included in other assets 9,604 10,061 9,986 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 116,181 $ 110,612 $ 104,804 The following table presents supplementary cash flow information, including non-cash investing and financing activities: Year ended December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 2022 Cash paid for taxes, net $ 10,115 $ 8,222 $ 3,409 Cash paid for interest 86,321 89,335 86,485 Non-cash investing and financing activities: Convertible notes exchange 223,614 — — Accrued capital expenditures 39,634 2,390 699 Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of allowances, which reflect the Company's expected credit losses based on historical experience as well as current and expected economic conditions. Inventory Inventory consists principally of newsprint, which is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Property, plant, and equipment, software development costs and depreciation Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost or at fair value for property, plant, and equipment related to acquired businesses. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized under the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. We capitalize costs to develop software for internal use when it is determined the development efforts will result in new or additional functionality or new products. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria and costs associated with ongoing maintenance are expensed as incurred and included in Operating costs in the accompanying Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) . Property, plant, and equipment and software development costs are evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policy for amortizable intangible assets and other long-lived assets. A breakout of property, plant, and equipment and software is presented below: December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 Useful Lives (range) Land $ 18,075 $ 21,990 Buildings and improvements 123,454 147,171 10 years - 30 years Machinery and equipment 224,138 258,432 3 years - 20 years Capitalized software 183,172 114,122 3 years - 5 years Furniture and fixtures 14,793 23,541 7 years - 10 years Construction in progress 14,361 10,239 Total 577,993 575,495 Less: accumulated depreciation (a) (337,013) (336,408) Property, plant, and equipment, net $ 240,980 $ 239,087 (a) Includes accumulated depreciation of capitalized software of approximately $105.5 million and $74.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively . Depreciation expense was $68.2 million , $72.6 million , and $86.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , respectively. Goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of newspaper mastheads and finite-lived intangible assets consist of advertiser, subscriber and other customer relationships, as well as trade names, and developed technology. Newspaper mastheads are not amortized because it has been determined that the useful lives of such mastheads are indefinite. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over those useful lives. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of November 30 each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We perform our impairment analysis on each of our reporting units. We evaluate our reporting units annually, as well as when changes in our operating structure occur. The Company has the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment and concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is equal to or greater than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit's goodwill is necessary; otherwise goodwill must be tested for impairment. In the quantitative test, we are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. Fair value of the reporting unit is defined as the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market-based approach. Estimates of fair value include inputs that are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties, and involve matters of significant judgment that are made at a specific point in time. Changes in key assumptions from period to period could significantly affect the estimates of fair value. Significant assumptions used in the fair value estimates include projected revenues and related growth rates over time, projected operating cash flow margins, discount rates, and future economic and market conditions. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimate of fair value, we calculate the impairment as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are newspaper mastheads, are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each group of mastheads with their carrying amount. We use a relief from royalty approach which utilizes a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of newspaper mastheads. Our judgments and estimates of future operating results in determining the reporting unit fair values are consistently applied in determining the fair value of mastheads. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed by asset group, which is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. The assessment of recoverability is based on management's estimates by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups to its carrying value of the asset groups to determine whether an impairment existed at its lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset group, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying value of such asset group exceeds its fair value. All three of our reporting units have goodwill balances. We conducted our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2024 and did not identify any impairment. In addition, we had no impairments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2023 and 2022 . See Note 6 — Goodwill and intangible assets for further discussion of Goodwill and intangible assets. Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. See Note 11 — Income taxes for further discussion. We also evaluate any uncertain tax positions and recognize a liability for the tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities upon consideration of the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We record a liability for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Any change in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions is recognized in earnings in the period in which such change occurs. Fair value of financial instruments The carrying value of the Company's cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. A discussion of the fair value level of the Company's debt and embedded conversion option is disclosed in Note 8 — Debt . For further details surrounding our policies on fair value measurement, including the fair values of our pension plan assets, refer to Note 10 — Fair value measurement . Deferred financing costs Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred in connection with debt financings and are recorded as a contra-liability in Long-term debt on the Consolidated balance sheets . Such costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the debt. This amortization represents a component of Interest expense. A proportionate amount of deferred financing costs is written-off upon early prepayment of debt as a component of Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) . Revenue recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our contracts with customers sometimes include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenue from sales agreements that contain multiple performance obligations are allocated to each obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers. Digital Digital revenues are primarily derived from digital advertising offerings such as digital marketing services generated through multiple services, including search advertising, display advertising, search optimization, social media, website development, web presence products, customer relationship management, and software-as-a-service solutions, classified advertisements and display advertisements, which may leverage third-party providers, and digital distribution of our publications, as well as digital content syndication, affiliate and content partnerships, and licensing revenues. Digital advertising and marketing revenues are generated primarily by online marketing products provided by our DMS segment. The Company enters into agreements for products in which our clients typically pay in advance and on a monthly basis. These prepayments include all charges for the included technology and any media services, management, third-party content, and other costs and fees, all of which are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue is then recognized as we purchase and deliver media on behalf of the customer and perform other marketing-related services. Digital subscription revenues are derived from digital subscriptions. Digital subscription revenues are generally billed to customers at the beginning of the subscription period and are typically recognized over the subscription period as the performance obligations are delivered. The term of customer subscriptions normally ranges from one to twelve months . Digital other revenues are derived mainly from digital syndication, affiliate, production and licensing revenues and are recognized when the related services are performed. Print and commercial Print and commercial revenues are generated from the sale of local, national, and classified print advertising products, the sale of both home delivery and single copies of our publications, as well as commercial printing and distribution arrangements, and revenues from our events business. The Company generates Print advertising revenues primarily by delivering advertising in its national publication, USA TODAY, and in its local publications including newspapers. Advertising revenues are categorized as local retail, local classified, online, and national. Print advertising revenue is recognized upon publication of the advertisement. Print circulation revenues are derived from print subscriptions as well as single copy sales at retail stores, vending racks and boxes. Print circulation revenues from subscribers are generally billed to customers at the beginning of the subscription period and are typically recognized over the subscription period as the performance obligations are delivered. The term of customer subscriptions normally ranges from one to twelve months . Print circulation revenues from single-copy income are recognized based on the date of publication. The Company provides commercial printing services to third parties as a means to generate incremental revenue and utilize excess printing capacity. Customers consist primarily of other publishers that do not have their own printing presses and do not compete with other Gannett publications. The Company also prints other commercial materials, including flyers, business cards and invitations. Revenue is generally recognized upon delivery. In addition, the Company generates revenues from its events and promotions business. Revenues are generated primarily through ticket sales, endurance events and race management services. Revenue is generally recognized when the event occurs. Principal versus agent considerations We evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis) by performing analyses regarding whether we control the provision of specified goods or services before they are transferred to our customers. We report revenues gross when we control advertising inventory before it is transferred to the customer. Our control is evidenced by us being primarily responsible or sharing responsibility for the fulfillment of services and maintaining control over transaction pricing. Practical expedients and exemptions The Company generally expenses sales commissions or other costs to obtain contracts when incurred because the amortization period is generally one year or less. These costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses . The Company does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. Deferred revenues The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of the Company's performance obligation. The Company's primary source of deferred revenues is from circulation subscriptions paid in advance of the service provided, which represents future delivery of publications (the performance obligation) to subscription customers. The Company expects to recognize the revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations over the next one to twelve months in accordance with the terms of the subscriptions. The Company's payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. The majority of our subscription customers are billed and pay on monthly terms. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred total advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 of $45.7 million , $41.9 million , and $56.8 million , respectively. Pension and postretirement liabilities Pension and other postretirement benefit costs under our defined benefit retirement plans are actuarially determined. For plans with frozen benefits, we recognize the cost of postretirement benefits such as pension, medical, and life insurance benefits on an accrual basis over the average life expectancy of employees expected to receive such benefits. For active plans, costs are recognized over the estimated average future service period. We also recognize liabilities associated with the withdrawal from multiemployer pension plans. See Note 9 — Pensions and other postretirement benefit plans for further details. Share-based compensation Share-based payments to employees and members of the Board of Directors (i.e., grants of stock options and restricted stock) are recognized in the Consolidated financial statements over the service period (generally the vesting period) based on fair values measured on grant dates, less forfeitures. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Self-insurance liability accruals The Company maintains self-insured medical and workers' compensation programs. The Company purchases stop loss coverage from third parties, which limits our exposure to large claims. The Company records a liability for healthcare and workers' compensation costs during the period in which they occur, including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims. Concentration of risk Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with multiple financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk. Due to the distributed nature of our operations, we are not subject to significant concentrations of risk relating to customers, products, or geographic locations. Our foreign revenues, principally from businesses in the U.K. at our Newsquest segment and international operations at our DMS segment, were $239.3 million and $40.6 million , respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024 . As of December 31, 2024 , our long-lived assets in foreign countries were $182.7 million at our Newsquest segment and $5.5 million for our international operations at our DMS segment. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease assets , Other current liabilities , and Long-term operating lease liabilities on our Consolidated balance sheets . Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The rates implicit within the Company's leases are generally not determinable; therefore, the Company uses judgment to determine the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using our credit rating and information available related to similar terms and payments as of the commencement date. ROU assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for long-lived assets. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate. The period which is subject to an option to extend the lease is included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The period which is subject to an option to terminate the lease is included if it is reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For all material classes of leased assets, we do not separate lease components from non-lease components, and account for both components as a single lease component. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities A breakout of Accounts payable and accrued liabilities is presented below: December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 Accounts payable $ 154,162 $ 142,215 Compensation 81,738 82,160 Taxes (primarily property, sales, and payroll taxes) 9,135 9,990 Benefits 19,765 19,422 Interest 3,972 5,617 Other 49,612 34,040 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 318,384 $ 293,444 Loss contingencies We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. We determine whether to disclose or accrue for loss contingencies based on an assessment of whether the risk of loss is remote, reasonably possible, or probable and whether it can be reasonably estimated. We accrue for loss contingencies when such amounts are probable and reasonably estimable. If a contingent liability is only reasonably possible, we will disclose the potential range of the loss if material and estimable. Legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Foreign currency translation The statements of income of foreign operations have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average currency exchange rates in effect during the relevant period. The balance sheets have been translated using the currency exchange rates as of the end of the accounting period. The impact of currency exchange rate changes on the translation of the balance sheets are included in Comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and are classified as Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated balance sheets and Consolidated statements of equity . Recent accounting pronouncements adopted Reportable segment disclosures In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires the amendments to be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the year ended December 31, 2024 and for interim periods beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Consolidated financial statements . Refer to "Note 14 – Segments", which reflects updated disclosures to include segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is our Chief Executive Officer. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Induced conversions of convertible debt instruments In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2024-04, which clarifies the assessment of whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an inducement conversion. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the updated guidance and assessing the impact on the Consolidated financial statements . Disaggregation of income statement expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The disclosures are required on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the updated guidance and assessing the impact on the Consolidated financial statements . Income tax disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2023-09, which enhances annual income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the updated guidance and assessing the impact on the Consolidated financial statements .

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	NOTE 4 — Leases We lease certain real estate, vehicles, and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease term s of one to 12 years , some of which may include options to extend the leases, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable lives of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The components of lease expense are as follows: Year ended December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 2022 Operating lease cost (a) $ 52,417 $ 64,845 $ 73,103 Short-term lease cost (b) 938 900 929 Variable lease cost 12,390 13,200 13,002 Net lease cost $ 65,745 $ 78,945 $ 87,034 (a) Includes sublease income of $8.3 million , $9.1 million , and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , respectively . (b) Excludes expenses relating to leases with a lease term of one month or less. In 2023, the Company sold two properties in Michigan and Arizona for a total of $60.5 million , which resulted in a net gain of $39.3 million . Contemporaneously with the closing of the sales, the Company entered into leases pursuant to which we leased back the properties for cumulative annual rent of $39.9 million , subject to annual escalations. The leases are accounted for as operating leases. Supplemental information related to leases are as follows: Year ended December 31, In thousands, except lease term and discount rate 2024 2023 2022 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 71,985 $ 76,338 $ 79,659 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations 6,071 31,501 15,272 Gain on sale and leaseback transactions, net (105) (40,221) (12,249) Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 6.0 6.4 6.8 Weighted-average discount rate 13.2 % 13.0 % 12.6 % Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases are as follows: In thousands Year ended December 31, 2025 $ 61,987 2026 50,461 2027 42,486 2028 38,113 2029 37,293 Thereafter 74,223 Total future minimum lease payments 304,563 Less: Imputed interest 97,071 Total $ 207,492 As of December 31, 2024 , we have entered into leases that have not yet commenced with future lease payments of $0.9 million

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts receivable, net	NOTE 5 — Accounts receivable, net The Company performs its evaluation of the collectability of trade receivables based on customer category. For example, trade receivables from individual subscribers to our publications are evaluated separately from trade receivables related to advertising customers. For advertising trade receivables, the Company applies a "black motor formula" methodology as the baseline to calculate the allowance for credit losses. The reserve percentage is calculated as a ratio of total net bad debts (less write-offs and recoveries) for the prior three -year period to total outstanding trade accounts receivable for the same three -year period. The calculated reserve percentage by customer category is applied to the consolidated gross advertising receivable balance, irrespective of aging. In addition, each category has specific reserves for at risk accounts that vary based on the nature of the underlying trade receivables. Due to the short-term nature of our circulation receivables, the Company reserves all receivables aged over 90 days . The following table presents changes in the allowance for credit losses: Year ended December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 16,338 $ 16,697 Current period provision 5,155 12,316 Write-offs charged against the allowance (10,564) (17,143) Recoveries of amounts previously written-off 2,676 4,325 Other (9) 143 Ending balance $ 13,596 $ 16,338 The calculation of the allowance considers current economic, industry and customer-specific conditions relative to their respective operating environments in the incremental allowances recorded related to high-risk accounts, bankruptcies, receivables in repayment plan and other aging specific reserves. As a result of this analysis, the Company adjusts specific reserves and the amount of allowable credit as appropriate. The collectability of trade receivables related to advertising, marketing services and other customers depends on a variety of factors, including trends in local, regional, or national economic conditions that affect our customers' ability to pay. The advertisers in our newspapers and other publications and related websites are primarily retail businesses that can be significantly affected by regional or national economic downturns and other developments that may impact our ability to collect on the related receivables. Similarly, while circulation revenues related to individual subscribers are primarily prepaid, changes in economic conditions may also affect our ability to collect on amounts owed from single copy circulation customers. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company recorded bad debt expense of $5.2 million and $12.3 million , respectively, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) . The decrease in bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 , was primarily due to stronger collections as well as the reversal of special reserves no longer needed in 2024.

The weighted average amortization period in total for all amortizable intangible assets is 10.2 years . For the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , amortization expense was $88.1 million , $90.0 million , and $95.6 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2024 , the estimated future amortization expense for each of the five fiscal years was as follows: 2025 - $80.7 million ; 2026 - $62.2 million ; 2027 - $60.9 million ; 2028 - $26.0 million ; and 2029 and thereafter - $33.8 million . Changes in the carrying amount of Goodwill by segment are as follows: In thousands Domestic Gannett Media Newsquest Digital Marketing Solutions Total Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 401,106 $ 14,589 $ 117,471 $ 533,166 Acquisitions — 30 — 30 Divestitures (46) (82) — (128) Foreign exchange (3) 811 — 808 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 401,057 $ 15,348 $ 117,471 $ 533,876 Divestitures (3,662) — — (3,662) Foreign exchange 13 (199) — (186) Balance at December 31, 2024 $ 397,408 $ 15,149 $ 117,471 $ 530,028 As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the carrying amount of goodwill reflected accumulated impairment losses of $340.8 million , $70.5 million and $44.1 million related to impairments at the Domestic Gannett Media , Newsquest and DMS segments, respectively. Annual impairment assessment The Company performed its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2024 with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgments, including judgments about appropriate discount rates, long-term growth rates, company earnings multiples and relevant comparable transactions, as applicable, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in the analysis are based on the Company's internal forecasts, which considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions for each reporting unit. The long-term growth rates are dependent on various factors and could be adversely impacted by a sustained decrease in overall market growth rates, the competitive environment, relative currency exchange rates and a sustained increase in inflation, all of which the Company considered in determining the long-term growth rates used in the 2024 analysis, which ranged from 0% to 3.0% . The discount rates for each reporting unit are determined based on the inherent risks of each reporting unit's underlying operations and may be impacted by adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment and volatility in the equity and debt markets. The Company considered these factors in determining the discount rates used in the 2024 analysis, which ranged from 13.5% to 20.0% . For goodwill, the Company determined the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market-based approach. During the fourth quarter of 2024 , t he Company compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, which resulted in the fair value of all the reporting units being in excess of their carrying values. For mastheads, the Company applied a "relief from royalty" approach, a discounted cash flow model, reflecting current assumptions, to determine the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of 2024 , the Company compared the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount, which resulted in the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset being in excess of its carrying value. In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company is required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred under ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360"), which would require interim impairment testing. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company performed a review of potential indicators for its long-lived asset groups under ASC 360 and it was determined that no indicators of impairment were present. During 2023 and 2022 , there were no impairments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. While the Company believes its judgments represent reasonably possible outcomes based on available facts and circumstances, adverse changes to the assumptions, including those related to macroeconomic factors, comparable public company trading values and prevailing conditions in the capital markets, could lead to future declines in the fair value of a reporting unit. The Company continually evaluates whether current factors or indicators, such as prevailing conditions in the business environment, capital markets or the economy generally, and actual or projected operating results, require the performance of an interim impairment assessment of goodwill, as well as other long-lived assets. For example, any significant shortfall, now or in the future, in advertising revenues or subscribers and/or consumer acceptance of our products could lead to a downward revision in the fair value of certain reporting units.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a new $900.0 million five -year first lien term loan facility (the " 2029 Term Loan Facility "), which refinanced and replaced the Company's existing Senior Secured Term Loan (defined below). The 2029 Term Loan Facility is comprised of an initial term loan facility of $850.4 million , funded on the Closing Date (the " 2029 Initial Draw Facility "), and a delayed draw term loan facility of $49.6 million (the " 2029 Delayed Draw Facility "), which has been made available to the Borrower at its discretion from the Closing Date and for a period of six months thereafter, subject to certain terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2024 , no amounts have been drawn under the 2029 Delayed Draw Facility . As of the Closing Date, the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement consisted primarily of funds, accounts or other clients managed by Apollo Capital Management, L.P. or its affiliates (the "Apollo Funds"), with $40.4 million of loans being provided by investors that elected the Loan Option Consideration in the 2026 Senior Notes Exchange Offer (as defined below). Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, Apollo Administrative Agency LLC was appointed as the successor administrative agent and the successor collateral agent to Citibank, N.A. The 2029 Term Loan Facility bears interest at an annual rate equal, at the Borrower's option, to either (i) an alternate base rate (which shall not be less than 2.50% per annum) plus a margin equal to 4.00% per annum or (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR (which shall be no less than 1.50% ) plus a margin equal to 5.00% per annum. The 2029 Term Loan Facility will mature on October 15, 2029 and will be freely prepayable without penalty. The 2029 Term Loan Facility is amortized at a rate of $17.0 million per quarter, with such rate to be adjusted upon the borrowing of any delayed-draw term loans to the extent necessary to cause such delayed-draw term loans to be fungible with the initial term loans under the 2029 Term Loan Facility. In addition, we are required to repay the 2029 Term Loan Facility from time to time with (i) the proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales and casualty and condemnation events, (ii) the proceeds of indebtedness that is not otherwise permitted under the 2029 Term Loan Facility and (iii) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand at the Company and our restricted subsidiaries in excess of $100.0 million as of the last day of any fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024). Proceeds from the 2029 Initial Draw Facility , funded on the Closing Date, were used on the Closing Date to prepay in full the Senior Secured Term Loan (as defined below), to repurchase the 2026 Senior Notes (as defined below) that were tendered by the holders thereof in the 2026 Senior Notes Exchange Offer and to repurchase the 2027 Notes (as defined below) that were exchanged by the holders thereof on the Closing Date pursuant to the Convertible Notes Exchange (as defined below). The proceeds of the 2029 Delayed Draw Facility may be used to repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise discharge outstanding 2027 Notes not exchanged in the Convertible Notes Exchange. As of December 31, 2024 , the 2029 Term Loan Facility was recorded at carrying value, which approximated fair value, in the Consolidated balance sheet and was classified as Level 2. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants and obligations under the 2029 Term Loan Facility . Senior Secured Term Loan On October 15, 2021 , Gannett Holdings entered into the Senior Secured Term Loan in an original aggregate principal amount of $516.0 million (the "Senior Secured Term Loan") with Citibank N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent for the lenders. On January 31, 2022 , Gannett Holdings entered into an amendment (the "Term Loan Amendment") to the Senior Secured Term Loan to provide for new incremental senior secured term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million . The Incremental Term Loans had substantially identical terms as the Senior Secured Term Loan and were treated as a single tranche with the Senior Secured Term Loan. The Term Loan Amendment also amended the Senior Secured Term Loan to transition the interest rate base from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR"). During 2022, Gannett Holdings entered into two separate amendments to the Senior Secured Term Loan to provide for incremental senior secured term loans totaling an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million (collectively, the "Exchanged Term Loans"). The Exchanged Term Loans had substantially identical terms as the Senior Secured Term Loan and Incremental Term Loans and were treated as a single tranche with the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loans. As noted above, in October 2024, the 2029 Term Loan Facility refinanced and replaced the Senior Secured Term Loan. The Senior Secured Term Loan bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR (which shall not be less than 0.50% per annum) plus a margin equal to 5.00% or an alternate base rate (which shall not be less than 1.50% per annum) plus a margin equal to 4.00% . Loans under the Senior Secured Term Loan were able to be prepaid, at the option of Gannett Holdings, at any time without premium. In addition, we were required to repay the Senior Secured Term Loan from time to time with (i) the proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales and casualty and condemnation events, (ii) the proceeds of indebtedness not permitted under the Senior Secured Term Loan , and (iii) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand at the Company and its restricted subsidiaries in excess of $100 million at the end of each fiscal year of the Company. Subsequent to the amendment effective as of April 8, 2022, the Senior Secured Term Loan was amortized at $15.1 million per quarter (or, if the ratio of debt secured on an equal basis with the Senior Secured Term Loan less unrestricted cash of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to Consolidated EBITDA (as such terms were defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan) (such ratio, the "First Lien Net Leverage Ratio"), for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters was equal to or less than 1.20 to 1.00 , $7.6 million per quarter). All obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan were secured by all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the "Senior Secured Term Loan Guarantors"). The obligations of Gannett Holdings under the Senior Secured Term Loan were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and the Senior Secured Term Loan Guarantors. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company received a waiver from certain lenders of the Senior Secured Term Loan that reduced the scheduled quarterly amortization payments payable to those lenders by $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 , and which was the amount used by the Company to repurchase a portion of its 2026 Senior Notes (defined below) in March 2024. As of December 31, 2023 , the Senior Secured Term Loan was recorded at carrying value, which approximated fair value, in the Consolidated balance sheet and was classified as Level 2. Term Loan Summary The 2029 Term Loan Facility contains and the Senior Secured Term Loan (collectively with the 2029 Term Loan Facility , the "Term Loans") contained usual and customary covenants for credit facilities of this type, including a requirement to have minimum unrestricted cash of $30 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and restricts, among other things, our ability to incur debt, grant liens, sell assets, make investments and pay dividends, in each case with customary exceptions, including an exception that permits dividends and repurchases of outstanding junior debt or equity in (i) an amount of up to $25 million per fiscal quarter if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00 but greater t han 1.50 to 1.00, (ii) an amount of up to $50 million per fiscal quarter if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter is equal to or less than 1.50 to 1.00 but greater than 1.00 to 1.00, and (iii) an unlimited amount if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter is equal to or less than 1.00 to 1.00. There were certain lenders that participated in the 2029 Term Loan Facility, whose balances in the Senior Secured Term Loan and the 2026 Senior Notes were deemed to be modified. As a result, the Company continues to defer, over the term of the 2029 Term Loan Facility, the original issue discount and deferred financing fees from the Senior Secured Term Loan of $1.3 million and $0.3 million , respectively, and original issue discount and deferred financing fees from the 2026 Senior Notes of $0.9 million and $0.7 million , respectively, related to those lenders. Original issue discount of $10.6 million was allocated to both the new lenders in the 2029 Term Loan Facility as well as those lenders whose balances in the Senior Secured Term Loan and the 2026 Senior Notes were deemed to be modified on a pro-rata basis. Additionally, deferred financing fees of $7.1 million were allocated to the new lenders in the 2029 Term Loan Facility, as well as those lenders whose balances in the Senior Secured Term Loan and the 2026 Senior Notes were deemed to be extinguished. Such amounts were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the 2029 Term Loan Facility using the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2024 , original issue discount of $2.2 million related to the 2029 Term Loan Facility was allocated to the lenders whose balances in the Senior Secured Term Loan and the 2026 Senior Notes were deemed to be extinguished and third-party fees of $5.0 million related to the 2029 Term Loan Facility were allocated to the lenders whose balances in the Senior Secured Term Loan and the 2026 Senior Notes were deemed to be modified.

The initial conversion rate for both the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes is 200 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes, respectively, which is equal to a conversion price of $5.00 per share of Common Stock (the "Conversion Price"). As of December 31, 2024 , the amount by which the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes if-converted value exceeded its principal was $0.5 million and $2.7 million , respectively. Upon the occurrence of a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" (as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture and the 2031 Notes Indenture), the Company will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes for a specified period of time. If a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture and the 2031 Notes Indenture) occurs, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes at a repurchase price of 110% of the principal amount thereof. Under the 2031 Notes Indenture, the Company can only pay cash dividends up to an agreed-upon amount, provided the ratio of consolidated debt to EBITDA (as such term is defined in the 2031 Notes Indenture) does not exceed a specified ratio. In addition, the 2031 Notes Indenture provides that, at any time that the Company's Total Gross Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2031 Notes Indenture) exceeds 1.5 and the Company approves the declaration of a dividend, the Company must offer to purchase a principal amount of 2031 Notes equal to the proposed amount of the dividend. The Company will have the right to redeem for cash up to the lesser of (i) approximately $72.8 million and (ii) 30% of the aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes issued pursuant to the 2031 Notes Indenture, in either case, with such amount reduced by 30% of the principal amount of 2031 Notes that has been converted by the holders of the 2031 Notes or redeemed or repurchased by the Company, at a redemption price of 140% of the principal amount thereof, on or prior to December 1, 2030 (or December 1, 2028 if the 2029 Term Loan Facility is refinanced or amended to permit the redemption of the 2031 Notes in an amount equal to or greater than such principal amount of 2031 Notes). The 2027 Notes and 2031 Notes are guaranteed by Gannett Holdings and all subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the 2029 Term Loan Facility. The 2027 Notes and 2031 Notes rank as senior secured debt of the Company and are secured by liens on the same collateral package that secures the indebtedness incurred in connection with the 2029 Term Loan Facility. The 2027 Notes are secured by liens that are junior to the liens securing indebtedness incurred under the 2029 Term Loan Facility and the 2031 Notes. The 2031 Notes are secured by liens that are junior to the liens securing indebtedness incurred under the 2029 Term Loan Facility but senior to the liens securing the 2027 Notes. The 2031 Notes Indenture includes affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, indebtedness, dispositions, loans, advances and investors, sale and leaseback transactions, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictions on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries, negative pledges, and modifications to certain agreements. The 2031 Notes Indenture also requires that the Company maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, at least $30.0 million of Qualified Cash (as defined in the 2031 Notes Indenture). The 2027 Notes Indenture and the 2031 Notes Indenture include customary events of default. The 2027 Notes have two components: (i) a debt component, and (ii) an equity component. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the debt component of the 2027 Notes was recorded at carrying value in the Consolidated balance sheets . The carrying value of the 2027 Notes reflected the balance of the unamortized discount related to the value of the conversion feature assessed at inception and did not approximate fair value as of December 31, 2024 . The 2027 Notes were classified as Level 2, and based on unadjusted quoted prices in the active market obtained from third-party pricing services, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes was $44.6 million as of December 31, 2024 , and was primarily affected by fluctuations in market interest rates and the price of the Company's Common Stock. In connection with the Convertible Notes Exchange, for the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of $114.6 million and a write-off of unamortized original issue discount and unamortized deferred financing costs of $50.3 million and $1.1 million , respectively. As a result of the Convertible Notes Exchange, the Company recorded a reduction in Additional paid-in capital of $237.5 million in the Consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 . As of December 31, 2024, the conversion feature remaining in Additional paid-in capital was $42.0 million , net of tax . The remaining 2027 Notes are convertible into 7.6 million shares of Common Stock, based on the initial conversion price of $5.00 per share. The 2031 Notes have two components: (i) a debt component, and (ii) an equity component. The debt component of the 2031 Notes was recorded at its principal value at issuance, and as of December 31, 2024 was recorded at its carrying value in the Consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024 , the 2031 Notes were classified as Level 2 and the carrying value of the 2031 Notes approximated fair value. The excess of the fair value over the principal value of the 2031 Notes was recorded in Additional Paid-in capital as the 2031 Notes were issued at a 50% premium. The equity component of the 2031 Notes was classified as Level 3, as it was calculated based on the aggregate fair value of the 2031 Notes which used a binomial lattice model and assumptions based on market information and historical data, and significant unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2024 , the amount of the equity component recorded in Additional paid-in capital was $80.4 million , net of tax. The 2031 Notes are convertible into 44.7 million shares of Common Stock, based on the initial conversion price of $5.00 per share. Pursuant to the Convertible Notes Exchange, original issue discount and deferred financing costs of $3.6 million and $2.9 million , respectively, will be amortized over the 7 -year contractual life of the 2031 Notes, and the Company also continues to defer $1.6 million of original issue discount from the 2027 Notes over the 7 -year contractual life of the 2031 Notes. Additionally, original issue discount and deferred financing costs of $4.4 million and $0.1 million , respectively, related to the remaining 2027 Notes will continue to be amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2027 Notes. In connection with the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company recognized interest expense of $26.2 million and $29.1 million , respectively, and paid cash interest of $27.4 million and $29.1 million , respectively. In connection with the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company recognized amortization of original issue discount of $11.9 million and $13.4 million , respectively, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million and $0.3 million , respectively. The effective interest rate on the debt component of the 2027 Notes was 10.50% as of December 31, 2024 . The effective interest rate on the debt component of the 2031 Notes was 6.60% as of December 31, 2024 . For the year ended December 31, 2024 , no shares of Common Stock were issued upon conversion, exercise, or satisfaction of the required conditions of the 2027 Notes or the 2031 Notes. Refer to Note 12 — Supplemental equity and other information for details on the impact of the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes to diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method. Senior Convertible Notes due 2024 The $3.3 million principal value of the remaining 4.75% convertible senior notes was repaid on April 15, 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). As of December 31, 2023 , the 2024 Notes were reported within the Current portion of long-term debt and were recorded at carrying value, which approximated fair value, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and were classified as Level 2. Future debt obligation payments Future debt obligation payments for the year ended December 31, are as follows: In millions Principal payments 2025 $ 68.0 2026 68.0 2027 106.1 2028 68.0 2029 and thereafter 801.7 Total debt obligations $ 1,111.8

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pensions and other postretirement benefit plans	NOTE 9 — Pensions and other postretirement benefit plans We, along with our subsidiaries, sponsor various defined benefit retirement plans, including plans established under collective bargaining agreements. Our retirement plans include the (i) Gannett Retirement Plan (the "GR Plan"), (ii) Gannett Retirement Plan for Certain Union Employees (the "Gannett CUE Plan"), (iii) Newsquest Scheme in the U.K. (the "U.K. Pension Plan"), (iv) Newspaper Guild of Detroit Pension Plan (the "Detroit Plan"), (v) George W. Prescott Publishing Company Pension Plan (the "GWP Plan") and (vi) Times Publishing Company Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "TPC Plan"). The GWP Plan was amended to freeze all future benefit accruals by December 31, 2008 , except for a select group of union employees whose benefits were frozen in 2009 , the GR Plan was amended to freeze all future benefit accruals by August 1, 2008, except for a select group of unions and the TPC Plan was frozen as of May 31, 2007, prior to the Company's acquisition of the TPC Plan. The Company also maintains several postretirement medical and life insurance plans which cover certain employees. We also provide health care and life insurance benefits to certain retired employees who meet age and service requirements. Most of our retirees contribute to the cost of these benefits and retiree contributions are increased as actual benefit costs increase. The cost of providing retiree health care and life insurance benefits is actuarially determined. Our policy is to fund benefits as claims and premiums are paid. We use a December 31 measurement date for these plans. The following table presents the change in the projected benefit obligation for the years ended December 31: Pension benefits Postretirement benefits In thousands 2024 2023 2024 2023 Projected benefit obligation at beginning of period $ 1,658,045 $ 1,642,180 $ 41,719 $ 47,043 Service cost 998 1,366 35 40 Interest cost 81,500 84,449 2,120 2,334 Change in prior service cost — — — (3,307) Actuarial (gain) loss (101,025) 21,769 (286) 109 Foreign currency translation (8,174) 33,973 — — Benefits and expenses paid (127,368) (125,692) (4,581) (4,500) Curtailment 119 — — — Settlement (964) — — — Projected benefit obligation at end of period $ 1,503,131 $ 1,658,045 $ 39,007 $ 41,719 The following table presents the change in the fair value of plan assets for the years ended December 31, and the plans' funded status at December 31: Pension benefits Postretirement benefits In thousands 2024 2023 2024 2023 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of period $ 1,783,898 $ 1,720,810 $ — $ — Actual return on plan assets 5,620 150,371 — — Employer contributions 7,949 1,441 4,581 4,500 Settlement (964) — — — Benefits paid (127,368) (125,692) (4,581) (4,500) Foreign currency translation (9,433) 36,968 — — Fair value of plan assets at end of period $ 1,659,702 $ 1,783,898 $ — $ — Funded status at end of period 156,571 125,853 (39,007) (41,719) Unrecognized actuarial loss (gain) 76,547 90,813 (11,929) (13,555) Unrecognized prior service cost 1,491 1,581 (2,169) (2,738) Net prepaid (accrued) benefit cost 234,609 218,247 (53,105) (58,012) Amounts recognized in the Consolidated balance sheets at December 31, are listed below: Pension benefits Postretirement benefits In thousands 2024 2023 2024 2023 Other assets $ 160,343 $ 131,881 $ — $ — Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 277 282 4,682 4,804 Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations 3,495 5,746 34,325 36,915 Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (78,038) (92,394) 14,098 16,293 Net prepaid (accrued) benefit cost $ 234,609 $ 218,247 $ (53,105) $ (58,012) Accumulated pension benefit obligations were $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. For the Funded plans, the fair value of plan assets exceeds both the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation. For the Underfunded plans, the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation exceed the fair value of plan assets. The following table presents information about funded and underfunded pension plans at December 31: Funded plans Underfunded plans In thousands 2024 2023 2024 2023 Projected benefit obligation $ 1,457,351 $ 1,602,112 $ 45,780 $ 55,933 Accumulated benefit obligation 1,456,629 1,601,306 45,780 55,933 Fair value of plan assets 1,617,694 1,733,993 42,008 49,905 Net periodic benefit cost and amounts recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) The combined net pension and postretirement expense (benefit) recognized in the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was $11.4 million , $8.0 million , and $57.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , respectively.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the net periodic benefit cost for the Company's pension plans and postretirement benefit obligations at December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 : Pension benefits Postretirement benefits 2024 2023 2022 2024 2023 2022 Weighted average discount rate 5.1 % 5.4 % 3.8 % 5.4 % 5.7 % 3.0 % Rate of increase in future compensation levels (a) 2.0 % 2.0 % 2.0 % N/A N/A N/A Weighted average expected return on assets 5.6 % 5.7 % 4.8 % N/A N/A N/A Current year medical trend N/A N/A N/A 6.3 % 6.5 % 6.0 % Ultimate year medical trend N/A N/A N/A 4.5 % 4.5 % 4.5 % Year of ultimate trend N/A N/A N/A 2031 2031 2028 (a) Relates only to the Newspaper Guild of Detroit defined benefit pension plans. To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, the Company considers the current and expected asset allocations as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets, input from the actuaries and investment consultants, and long-term inflation assumptions. The expected allocation of pension plan assets is based on a diversified portfolio consisting of domestic and international equity securities and fixed income securities. This expected return is then applied to the fair value of plan assets. The Company amortizes experienced gains and losses, including the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions, over a period equal to the average future service of plan participants or over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive participants. The Company updates the estimates used to measure the defined benefit pension assets and obligations annually or upon a remeasurement event. The fiduciaries of the pension plans set investment policies and strategies for the pension trusts. Objectives include preserving the funded status of the plan and balancing risk against return. The weighted average target asset allocation of our plans for 2025 and allocations at the end of 2024 and 2023 , by asset category, are presented in the table below: Target allocation Allocation of plan assets 2025 2024 2023 Equity securities 17% 21% 24% Debt securities 71% 62% 57% Alternative investments (a) 12% 17% 19% Total 100% 100% 100% (a) Alternative investments include real estate, private equity and hedge funds. Purchase of pension annuity contract On August 31, 2022, Gannett Media Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as sponsor of the GR Plan, entered into an agreement pursuant to which the GR Plan used a portion of its assets to purchase annuities from two insurance companies (the "Insurers") and transferred approximately $450 million of the GR Plan's pension liabilities and related pension assets. As of August 31, 2022, this agreement irrevocably transferred to the Insurers future GR Plan benefit obligations for certain U.S. retirees and beneficiaries ("Participants") beginning with payments due to the Participants on November 1, 2022 (the "Effective Date") and Gannett Media Corp. has no financial responsibility for the Participants' benefits on or after such date. As of the Effective Date, the Insurers assumed responsibility for administrative and customer service support, including distribution of payments to the Participants. Participants' benefits were not reduced as a result of this transaction. As a result of this transaction, we were required to remeasure the related plan benefit obligations and assets as of August 31, 2022 reflecting the use of an updated discount rate. The plan remeasurement resulted in a decrease of $99.9 million to our net funded pension obligation, which included a decrease in benefit obligation of $281.8 million (primarily due to an increase in the discount rate from 2.95% at January 1, 2022 to 5.05% ) and an incremental decrease in plan assets of $381.7 million . In addition, we recognized a noncash pension settlement gain of $0.7 million ( $0.5 million after tax) for the GR Plan for the year ended December 31, 2022, which represented the accelerated recognition of actuarial gains that were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity. Contributions We are contractually obligated to contribute to our pension and postretirement benefit plans. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , we contributed $7.9 million and $4.6 million to our pension and other postretirement plans, respectively. Beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and ending with the quarter ending September 30, 2024, the GR Plan's appointed actuary certified the GR Plan's funded status for each quarter (the "Quarterly Certification") in accordance with U.S. GAAP. If the GR Plan was less than 100% funded, the Company would have been required to make a $1.0 million contribution to the GR Plan no later than 60 days following the receipt of the Quarterly Certification. The Company's obligation to make additional contractual contributions terminated the day following the date that a contractual contribution would have been due for the quarter ending September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 , the GR Plan was more than 100% funded. Future contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans, which we are contractually obligated to contribute, are estimated to be $6.6 million in 2025 . Contributions beyond 2025 are not estimated due to uncertainties regarding significant assumptions involved in estimating these contributions, such as interest rate levels, as well as the amount and timing of invested asset returns. These future contributions do not include additional contributions which may be required to meet Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") minimum funding standards as these contributions are subject to uncertainties regarding significant assumptions involved in their estimation such as interest rate levels as well as the amount and timing of invested asset returns. Estimated future benefit payments We estimate making the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service: In thousands Pension benefits Postretirement benefits 2025 $ 134,982 $ 4,815 2026 133,856 4,536 2027 133,474 4,269 2028 130,646 4,010 2029 128,982 3,764 Thereafter 554,288 15,549 The amounts above exclude the participants' share of the benefit cost. We expect no subsidy benefits for 2025 and beyond. Multiemployer plans The Company is a participant in six multiemployer pension plans covering certain employees with collective bargaining agreements ("CBAs"). The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: • The Company plays no part in the management of plan investments or any other aspect of plan administration; • Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; • If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers; and • If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans in an amount based on the unfunded status of the plan, referred to as withdrawal liability. The Company's participation in these plans for the year ended December 31, 2024 , is outlined in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number ("EIN") and the three-digit plan number. Unless otherwise noted, the two most recent Pension Protection Act zone statuses available are for the plans for the years ended December 31, 2024 , and 2023 , respectively. The zone status is based on information the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded; plans in the orange zone are both (i) less than 80% funded and (ii) have an accumulated/expected funding deficiency in any of the next six plan years, net of any amortization extensions; plans in the yellow zone meet either one of the criteria mentioned in the orange zone; and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan ("FIP") or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date(s) of the collective-bargaining agreement(s) to which the plans are subject. The Company makes all required contributions to these plans as determined under the respective CBAs. For each of the plans listed below, the Company's contribution represented less than 5% of total contributions to the plan.

(b) The trustees of this plan have voluntarily elected to put the fund in critical status to strengthen its funding position. As of December 31, 2024 , the total unpaid balance for the Company's withdrawal liabilities was approximately $55.6 million , which are payable over 13.9 years . For the year ended December 31, 2024 , we recorded $24.5 million related to withdrawal liabilities which were expensed as a result of ceasing contributions to multiemployer pension plans in which we formerly participated. Defined contribution plans Employees are immediately eligible to participate in the Gannett Media Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Gannett 401(k) Plan") and can elect to save up to 75% of compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to IRS limitations. Effective January 1, 2021, employees covered under collective bargaining agreements are eligible to participate in the Gannett 401(k) Plan only if participation has been bargained, unless previously eligible in the New Media Investment Group Inc. Retirement Savings Plan. In October 2022, matching contributions to the Gannett 401(k) Plan, with the exception of certain employees covered under collective bargaining agreements, were suspended. Prior to the suspension of matching contributions in October 2022, the matching formula was 100% of the first 4% of employee contributions and 50% on the next 2% of employee contributions of eligible pay. Beginning in July 2024, matching contributions to the Gannett 401(k) Plan were reinstated, and the current matching formula is 25% of the first 4% of employee contributions of eligible pay. For the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , the Company's matching contributions were $3.3 million , $0.8 million and $13.5 million , respectively .

Fair value measurement	NOTE 10 — Fair value measurement In accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," fair value measurements are required to be disclosed using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2024 , and 2023 , assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and measured on a recurring basis primarily consist of pension plan assets. As permitted by U.S. GAAP, we use net asset values ("NAV") as a practical expedient to determine the fair value of certain investments. These investments measured at NAV have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's debt is recorded on the Consolidated balance sheets at carrying value. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for additional discussion regarding fair value of the Company's debt instruments. Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets held for sale (Level 3), which are recorded in Other current assets on the Consolidated financial statements , are measured on a nonrecurring basis and are evaluated using executed purchase agreements, letters of intent or third-party valuation analyses when certain circumstances arise. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company had assets held for sale of $1.5 million and $0.2 million , respectively. The Company performs its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of the year. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value. The resulting fair value measurements of the assets are considered to be Level 3 measurements. Refer to Note 6 — Goodwill and intangible assets for additional discussion regarding the annual impairment assessment. The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the fair values of assets related to the following pension plans: the (i) GR Plan, (ii) Gannett CUE Plan, (iii) U.K. Pension Plan, (iv) Detroit Plan (v) GWP Plan, and (vi) TPC Plan as of December 31, 2024 : Pension Plan Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2024 In thousands Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,989 $ 1,695 $ — $ 12,684 Corporate common stock 66,725 — — 66,725 Corporate and government bonds — 231,518 — 231,518 Real estate — — 124,790 124,790 Mutual funds 20,430 — — 20,430 Exchange traded funds 23,215 — — 23,215 Interest in common/collective trusts: Equities — 255,382 — 255,382 Fixed income — 721,506 — 721,506 Partnership/joint venture interests — — 171,476 171,476 Total plan assets at fair value excluding those measured at NAV $ 121,359 $ 1,210,101 $ 296,266 $ 1,627,726 Instruments measured at NAV using the practical expedient: Real estate funds 8,814 Interest in common/collective trusts - fixed income 23,163 Partnerships/joint ventures 1,675 Total plan assets at fair value $ 1,661,378 Liabilities: Other liabilities $ (1,676) $ — $ — $ (1,676) Total plan liabilities at fair value $ (1,676) $ — $ — $ (1,676) The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level 3 pension plan assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 : Actual return on plan assets In thousands Balance at beginning of year Relating to assets still held at report date Relating to assets sold/ redeemed during the period Purchases Sales Settlements Balance at end of year Assets: Real estate $ 133,503 $ (2,039) $ — $ — $ (6,674) $ — $ 124,790 Partnership/joint venture interests 169,932 (10,044) — 39,243 (23,899) (3,756) 171,476 Hedge funds 48,695 — 7 — — (48,702) — Total assets $ 352,130 $ (12,083) $ 7 $ 39,243 $ (30,573) $ (52,458) $ 296,266 There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for the year ended December 31, 2024 . The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the fair values of assets and liabilities related to the following pension plans: the (i) GR Plan, (ii) U.K. Pension Plan, (iii) Detroit Plan (iv) GWP Plan, and (v) TPC Plan as of December 31, 2023 : Pension Plan Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2023 In thousands Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 11,524 $ 1,899 $ — $ 13,423 Corporate common stock 98,309 — — 98,309 Corporate and government bonds — 253,403 — 253,403 Real estate — — 133,503 133,503 Mutual funds 22,764 — — 22,764 Exchange traded funds 21,050 — — 21,050 Interest in common/collective trusts: Equities — 296,624 — 296,624 Fixed income — 691,479 — 691,479 Partnership/joint venture interests — — 169,932 169,932 Hedge funds — — 48,695 48,695 Total plan assets at fair value, excluding those measured at NAV $ 153,647 $ 1,243,405 $ 352,130 $ 1,749,182 Assets measured at NAV using the practical expedient: Real estate funds 9,576 Interest in common/collective trusts - fixed income 23,396 Partnership/joint venture interests 3,213 Total plan assets at fair value $ 1,785,367 Liabilities: Other liabilities $ (1,469) $ — $ — $ (1,469) Total plan liabilities at fair value $ (1,469) $ — $ — $ (1,469) The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level 3 pension plan assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2023 : Actual return on plan assets In thousands Balance at beginning of year Relating to assets still held at report date Relating to assets sold during the period Purchases Sales Settlements Balance at end of year Assets: Real estate $ 132,593 $ 2,683 $ — $ 13 $ (1,786) $ — $ 133,503 Partnership/joint venture interests 166,184 4,164 — 30,714 (25,917) (5,213) 169,932 Hedge funds 63,054 3,141 — — — (17,500) 48,695 Other assets 2 — — — — (2) — Total assets $ 361,833 $ 9,988 $ — $ 30,727 $ (27,703) $ (22,715) $ 352,130 Liabilities: Other liabilities $ 2,008 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ (2,008) $ — There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for the year ended December 31, 2023 . Valuation methodologies used for pension plan assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows: • Corporate common stock is valued primarily at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded; • Corporate bonds are a type of debt security issued by a corporation and are primarily valued using trades or quotes in secondary markets for that specific issue or similar security; • Investments in direct real estate in the U.K. have been valued by an independent qualified valuation professional in the U.K. using a valuation approach that capitalizes any current or future income streams at an appropriate multiplier. Investments in real estate funds are mainly valued utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying private investment companies or through proprietary models with varying degrees of complexity; • Mutual funds are valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held are open ended funds that are registered with the SEC. These funds are required to publish their NAV and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held are deemed to be actively traded; • Exchange traded funds are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded; • Interests in common/collective trusts are primarily equity and fixed income investments valued using the NAV provided by the administrator of the underlying fund available daily to the administrator of the respective plan. Where the daily NAV is not provided, interests in common/collective trusts are valued either through the use of a NAV as provided monthly by the fund family or fund company or through proprietary models with varying degrees of complexity. Shares in the common/collective trusts are generally redeemable upon request; • Investments in partnerships and joint venture interests classified in Level 3 are valued considering items such as expected cash flows, changes in market outlook and subsequent rounds of financing. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because exit prices tend to be unobservable and reliance is placed on the above methods. Most of the partnerships are general leveraged buyout funds, others include a venture capital fund, a fund formed to invest in special credit opportunities, an infrastructure fund and a real estate fund. Interest in partnership investments could be sold on the secondary market but cannot be redeemed. Instead, distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds are liquidated. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023 , t here were $3.1 million and $3.3 million , respectively, in unfunded commitments related to partnership/joint venture interests. One of the investments in partnerships and joint venture interests represents a limited partnership commingled fund valued using the NAV as reported by the fund manager; and • Investments in hedge funds consist of hedge funds whose strategy is to produce a return uncorrelated with market movements. This fund is classified as a Level 3 because its valuation is derived from unobservable inputs. Shares in the hedge funds are generally redeemable twice a year or on the last business day of each quarter with at least 60 days written notice subject to a potential 5% holdback. We review appraised values, audited financial statements and additional information to evaluate fair value estimates from our investment managers and/or fund administrator.

Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 66.0% . The tax benefit for 2024 was primarily impacted by the release of uncertain tax position reserves related to an IRS audit, the release of foreign valuation allowances, debt refinancing transactions and the pre-tax book loss, partially offset by the increase in valuation allowances on non-deductible U.S. interest expense carryforwards and the global intangible low-taxed income inclusion. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was not meaningful . The tax provision for 2023 was primarily impacted by the valuation allowances on non-deductible U.S. interest expense carryforwards, the global intangible low-taxed income inclusion, the release of uncertain tax positions in the U.S., and the reduction in the blended state tax rate, which were offset by the tax benefit of the pre-tax book loss. The tax effects of each type of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below: December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Fixed assets $ 4,474 $ — Accrued compensation costs 13,167 12,900 Accrued liabilities 17,787 14,676 Disallowed interest 121,110 115,030 Goodwill 162 3,200 Capitalized research and development costs 11,572 9,743 Partnership investments 4,961 4,231 Loss carryforwards 203,602 224,505 Lease liabilities 50,826 58,828 Other 15,130 17,257 Total deferred tax assets $ 442,791 $ 460,370 Less: Valuation allowances (304,673) (312,038) Total net deferred tax assets $ 138,118 $ 148,332 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets $ — $ (5,565) Right of use asset (43,157) (60,384) Convertible debt (22,472) (18,441) Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations (9,380) (8,388) Definite and indefinite lived intangible assets (7,054) (20,457) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (82,063) $ (113,235) Net deferred tax assets $ 56,055 $ 35,097 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company recorded a reduction of $7.4 million of valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets. The decrease in the valuation allowance was primarily due to a decrease of $10.9 million related to foreign valuation allowances and various other decreases in the valuation allowance of $3.2 million , partially offset by an increase in the U.S. disallowed interest expense carryforward of $6.1 million and an increase related to currency translation adjustments of $0.6 million . The Company considered the available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was needed. The Company reached the conclusion it was appropriate to record a valuation allowance against a portion of its federal deferred tax assets based on available evidence. We relied on evidence shown by reversing taxable temporary differences, as well as expectations of future taxable income with the appropriate tax character. During the year ended December 31, 2023 , the Company recorded an additional $12.0 million of valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets. The increase in the valuation allowance is primarily due to increases in the U.S. disallowed interest expense carryforward, decreases in foreign valuation allowances, and increases related to currency translation adjustment. The Company continues to maintain its existing valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in many of its state and foreign jurisdictions as it is not believed to be more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized in such jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the activity related to our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 (In thousands ) : Balance at beginning of period Additions/ (reductions) charged to expenses Additions/ (reductions) for acquisitions/ dispositions Other additions to (deductions from) reserves Foreign currency translation Balance at end of period $ 312,037 $ (7,985) $ — $ — $ 620 $ 304,672 The aforementioned valuation allowance relates to indefinite-lived intangible assets, nondeductible interest expense carryforwards, capital losses, state and foreign net operating losses and other tax attributes. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had $396.2 million of Federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, $500.9 million of Federal disallowed business interest expense carryforwards, $1.058 billion of apportioned state NOL carryforwards and $184.7 million of foreign net NOL carryforwards. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024 , the Company had $6.2 million of other business tax credits, $0.2 million of foreign tax credits, $4.7 million of state credits and $43.2 million of foreign capital loss carryforwards. The Federal NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2033, and the state NOL carryforwards began to expire in 2024. The foreign NOLs begin to expire in 2030. The tax credits began to expire in 2024. A portion of the NOLs are subject to the limitations of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. This section provides limitations on the availability of NOL carryforwards to offset income if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change," generally defined as a greater than 50% change in equity ownership over a three-year period. The most recent analysis of our historical ownership change was completed through December 31, 2024 . Based on the analysis, we do not anticipate a current limitation on tax attributes. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits, excluding the federal tax benefit of state tax deductions: Year ended December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 2022 Change in unrecognized tax benefits: Balance at beginning of year $ 52,821 $ 43,697 $ 46,082 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 837 7,017 5,411 Additions for tax positions of prior years 8 1,327 — Reductions for tax positions of prior years (11,261) (652) (2,664) Reductions due to lapsed statutes of limitations (137) (208) (2,264) Foreign currency translation (541) 1,640 (2,868) Balance at end of year $ 41,727 $ 52,821 $ 43,697 At December 31, 2024 , the Company's uncertain tax positions of $41.7 million , if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. During the yea r ended December 31, 2024 , the Company released $11.3 million of the uncertain tax position reserves and $4.8 million of interest and penalties related to an IRS audit in the second quarter of 2024. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the amount of accrued interest and penalties payable related to uncertain tax positions was $0.1 million and $4.6 million , respectively. The Company files a federal consolidated income tax return for which the statute of limitations remains open for any year in which a net operating loss is utilized, which for the Company is the 2011 tax year and subsequent years. U.S. state jurisdictions have statute of limitations generally ranging from 3 to 6 years . On November 19, 2019, New Media Investment Group Inc. ("New Media") completed its acquisition of Gannett Co., Inc. (which was renamed Gannett Media Corp. and is referred to as "Legacy Gannett"). During the second quarter of 2024, the Company closed the federal income tax return audit for calendar years 2015-2017 for Legacy Gannett. The U.K. income tax returns for calendar years 2018-2021 for Newsquest Capital Ltd. are under audit. The statute of limitations for the Company's U.K. income tax return remains open for tax years for 2023 and forward.

Supplemental equity and other information	NOTE 12 — Supplemental equity and other information L oss per shar e The following table sets forth the information to compute basic and diluted loss per share: Year ended December 31, In thousands, except per share data 2024 2023 2022 Net loss attributable to Gannett $ (26,354) $ (27,791) $ (78,002) Basic weighted average shares outstanding 142,516 139,633 136,903 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 142,516 139,633 136,903 Loss per share attributable to Gannett - basic $ (0.18) $ (0.20) $ (0.57) Loss per share attributable to Gannett - diluted $ (0.18) $ (0.20) $ (0.57) The Company excluded the following securities from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been antidilutive: Year ended December 31, In thousands 2024 2023 2022 2027 Notes (a) 7,612 97,057 97,057 2031 Notes (b) 44,745 — — Restricted stock grants (c) 7,267 8,608 8,616 Stock options 5,416 6,068 6,068 Warrants (d) — — 845 (a) Represents the total number of shares that would have been convertible as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 as stipulated in the 2027 Notes Indenture. (b) Represents the total number of shares that would have been convertible as of December 31, 2024 as stipulated in the 2031 Notes Indenture. (c) Includes restricted stock awards ("RSA"), restricted stock units ("RSU") and performance stock units ("PSU"). (d) The warrants expired on November 26, 2023. The 2027 Notes and 2031 Notes may be converted at any time by the Holders into cash, shares of the Company's Common Stock or any combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company's election. Conversion of all of the 2027 Notes and 2031 Notes into Common Stock (assuming the maximum increase in the conversion rate as a result of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change but no other adjustments to the conversion rate), would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 22.5 million shares of Common Stock and 143.9 million shares of Common Stock, respectively. The Company has excluded from the loss per share calculation approximately 14.9 million shares related to the possible conversion of the 2027 Notes and 99.1 million shares related to the possible conversion of the 2031 Notes, representing the difference between the total number of shares that would be convertible at December 31, 2024 and the total number of shares issuable assuming the maximum increase in the conversion rate. Share-based compensation Share-based compensation expense was $12.5 million , $16.6 million , and $16.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , respectively, and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) . Total compensation cost not yet recognized related to non-vested awards as of December 31, 2024 was $15.1 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years through January 2027 . Equity awards On June 5, 2023 , the Company's 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2023 Incentive Plan") was approved by the Company's stockholders and became effective. The 2023 Incentive Plan replaced the Company's 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2020 Incentive Plan"), which had replaced the Company's 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2015 Incentive Plan"), such that no further awards were or will be granted pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan and the 2015 Incentive Plan. With respect to restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), if service terminates for certain specified conditions, all unvested shares of restricted stock may be forfeited. During the period prior to the lapse and removal of the vesting restrictions, a grantee of a RSA will have all the rights of a stockholder, including without limitation, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any. Any dividends or other distributions that are declared with respect to the shares of restricted stock will be paid at the time such shares vest. The value of the RSAs on the date of issuance is recognized in Selling, general, and administrative expenses over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital. Beginning in 2023, RSAs granted generally vest in equal annual installments over a three -year period subject to the participants' continued employment with the Company and the terms of the applicable award agreements. RSAs granted prior to 2023 vest 33.3% on the first and second anniversary of the date of grant, and 33.4% on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the participants' continued employment with the Company and the terms of the applicable award agreement. The following table outlines RSA activity: Year ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Number of RSAs (In thousands) Weighted- average grant date fair value Number of RSAs (In thousands) Weighted- average grant date fair value Number of RSAs (In thousands) Weighted- average grant date fair value Unvested at beginning of year 8,456 $ 3.09 8,616 $ 4.40 6,949 $ 4.32 Granted 272 4.04 5,171 1.87 7,427 4.29 Vested (4,024) 3.57 (3,910) 4.11 (2,633) 4.63 Forfeited (543) 3.01 (1,421) 3.68 (3,127) 3.75 Unvested at end of year 4,161 $ 2.71 8,456 $ 3.09 8,616 $ 4.40 As of December 31, 2024 , the aggregate intrinsic value of unvested RSAs was $21.1 million . Restricted stock units ("RSUs") generally vest in equal annual installments over a three -year period subject to the participants' continued employment with the Company and the terms of the applicable award agreement, and we recognize compensation costs for these awards based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. Performance stock units ("PSUs") are subject to the achievement of certain performance goals over the eligible period and the terms of the applicable award agreement. Compensation cost ultimately recognized for these PSUs will equal the grant-date fair market value of the unit that coincides with the actual outcome of the performance conditions. On an interim basis, we record compensation cost based on the expected level of achievement of the performance conditions. The following table outlines RSU and PSU activity: Year ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Number of RSUs & PSUs (In thousands) Weighted- average grant date fair value Number of RSUs & PSUs (In thousands) Weighted- average grant date fair value Number of RSUs & PSUs (In thousands) Weighted- average grant date fair value Unvested at beginning of year 181 $ 1.83 1,000 $ 3.04 2,905 $ 4.05 Granted (a) 3,074 4.15 332 1.83 332 4.63 Vested — — (152) 3.04 (1,905) 4.58 Forfeited and canceled (b) (141) 2.44 (999) 2.85 (332) 4.63 Unvested at end of year 3,114 $ 4.10 181 $ 1.83 1,000 $ 3.04 (a) There were no RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 . (b) For the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 , and 2022 , the Company canceled 15 thousand , 900 thousand , and 332 thousand , respectively, of PSUs and RSUs . As of December 31, 2024 , the aggregate intrinsic value of unvested RSUs and PSUs was $15.8 million . Stock options As of December 31, 2024 , FIG LLC, the former manager of the Company, held stock options exercisable for 5,416 thousand shares of Common Stock, all of which are exercisable and had a weighted-average grant date fair value, weighted- average exercise price and weighted-average remaining contrac tual term of $1.51 , $14.45 and 3.6 years , respectively. Cash awards The Company grants certain employees either long-term cash awards ("LTCAs") or cash performance units ("CPUs"). CPUs generally vest and pay out in cash on the third anniversary of the grant date based upon the achievement of threshold goals depending on actual performance against financial objectives over a three -year period. LTCAs generally vest and pay out in cash on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. As of December 31, 2024 , there was approximately $14.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to cash awards. Preferred stock The Company has authorized 300,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable in one or more series designated by the Company's Board of Directors, none of which have been issued. There were no issuances of preferred stock during the year ended December 31, 2024 . Stock repurchase program On February 1, 2022 , the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million (the "Stock Repurchase Program") of the Company's Common Stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to one or more plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or by means of one or more tender offers, in each case, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The amount and timing of the purchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the price and availability of the Company's shares, trading volume, capital availability, Company performance and general economic and market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Further, future repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program may be subject to various conditions under the terms of our various debt instruments and agreements, unless an exception is available or we obtain a waiver or similar relief. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , we did not repurchase any shares of Common Stock under the Stock Repurchase Program.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments, contingencies and other matters	NOTE 13 — Commitments, contingencies and other matters Legal proceedings The Company is and may become involved from time to time in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to, matters such as libel, invasion of privacy, intellectual property infringement, wrongful termination actions, complaints alleging employment discrimination, and regulatory investigations and inquiries. In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in governmental and administrative proceedings concerning employment, labor, environmental, and other claims. Insurance coverage mitigates potential loss for certain of these matters. Historically, such claims and proceedings have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. We are also defendants in judicial and administrative proceedings involving matters incidental to our business. Although the Company is unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, regulatory investigation or inquiry, in the opinion of management, the Company does not expect its current and any threatened legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position or consolidated results of operations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, however, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material effect on the Company's financial results. On June 20, 2023, the Company filed a civil action against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. (together, "Google") in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York seeking injunctive relief and damages for the anticompetitive monopolization of advertising technology markets and for deceptive commercial practices. The Company's complaint details more than a dozen anticompetitive and deceptive acts that the Company believes demonstrate Google's unfair control and manipulation of all sides of each online advertising transaction. The Company intends to vigorously pursue this action. However, at this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods, if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies." We do not expect pursuing this lawsuit to be a significant cost to us; however, the Company has and plans to continue to engage certain experts to participate in this matter. The cost of those experts will be expensed as incurred and is not expected to be material. The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit titled Scott O. Sapulpa ("Plaintiff") v. Gannett Co., Inc. in the District Court in the State of Oklahoma. In February 2024, a jury found for the Plaintiff and awarded compensatory damages of $5 million and $20 million in punitive damages. While we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this action, the Company filed an appeal of the case in March 2024. We are currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss; however, we believe that damages, if any, would be covered by the Company's insurance policies. As a result, we believe the outcome will not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated financial statements . Other Purchase obligations We have future expected purchase obligations, in the normal course of operations, of $166.5 million related to digital licenses and information technology services, professional services, interactive marketing agreements, and other legally binding commitments. Amounts which we are liable for under purchase orders outstanding at December 31, 2024 , are reflected in the Consolidated balance sheets as Accounts payable and are excluded from the amounts referred to above. Self-insurance We are self-insured for most of our employee medical coverage and for our casualty, general liability, and libel coverage (subject to a cap above which third-party insurance is in place). The liabilities, which are reflected in Accounts payable and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets , are established on an actuarial basis with the advice of consulting actuaries and totaled $39.0 million and $43.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment reporting	NOTE 14 — Segment reporting We define our reportable segments based on the way the CODM, which is our Chief Executive Officer, manages the operations for purposes of allocating resources and assessing segment performance. Our reportable segments include the following: • Domestic Gannett Media is comprised of our portfolio of domestic local, regional, and national newspaper publishers. The results of this segment include Digital revenues mainly derived from digital advertising offerings such as digital marketing services delivered by our DMS segment, digital distribution of our publications and digital content syndication and affiliate and partnership revenues as well as classified advertisements and display advertisements run on our platforms as well as third-party sites, and Print and commercial revenues mainly derived from the sale of local, national, and classified print advertising products, the sale of both home delivery and single copies of our publications, as well as commercial printing and distribution arrangements, and revenues from our events business. • Newsquest is comprised of our portfolio of newspaper publishers in the U.K.. The results of this segment include Digital revenues mainly derived from digital advertising offerings such as digital marketing services delivered by our DMS segment, digital distribution of our publications and digital content syndication revenues as well as classified advertisements and display advertisements run on our platforms and third-party sites, and Print and commercial revenues mainly derived from the sale of local, classified, and national advertising as well as niche publications, the sale of both home delivery and single copies of our publications, as well as commercial printing. • Digital Marketing Solutions is comprised of our digital marketing services companies under the brand LocaliQ. The results of this segment include Digital revenues derived from digital marketing services generated through multiple services, including search advertising, display advertising, search optimization, social media, website development, web presence products, customer relationship management, and software-as-a-service solutions. In addition to the reportable segments above, we have a Corporate and other category that includes activities not directly attributable to a specific reportable segment and includes broad corporate functions, including legal, human resources, accounting, analytics, finance, marketing and technology, as well as other general business costs. In the ordinary course of business, our reportable segments enter into transactions with one another. While intersegment transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues and expenses recognized by the segment that is the counterparty to the transaction are eliminated in consolidation and do not affect consolidated results. We regularly provide management reports to the CODM that include segment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, and included within Adjusted EBITDA include Payroll, Benefits, Newsprint & ink, Distribution, Outside services and Digital cost of goods sold. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the segments and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA provides an assessment of controllable expenses and affords the CODM the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure we believe offers a useful view of the overall operation of our businesses and may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net income (loss) attributable to Gannett before (1) Income tax expense (benefit), (2) Interest expense, (3) Gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, (4) Non-operating pension income, (5) Loss on convertible notes derivative, (6) Depreciation and amortization, (7) Integration and reorganization costs, (8) Third-party debt expenses and acquisition costs, (9) Asset impairments, (10) Goodwill and intangible impairments, (11) Gains or losses on the sale or disposal of assets, (12) Share-based compensation, (13) Other non-operating (income) expense, net, and (14) Non-recurring items. Management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important metric to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our segments on a consistent basis across reporting periods as it eliminates the effect of items that we do not believe are indicative of each segment's core operating performance.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats (as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K), including, among other things, operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers, violation of privacy or security laws and other litigation and legal risks, and reputational risks. We employ various processes and controls to aid in our efforts to identify, assess, and manage our material risks from cybersecurity threats and to protect against, detect, and respond to cybersecurity incidents (as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K). To identify and assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, we consider and gather information with respect to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information systems (as defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K). We have adopted policies and procedures that are designed to assist us with managing identified risks at a system and organizational level and with assessing the materiality of the risk, its severity, and potential mitigations or remediations. Our enterprise risk management program considers cybersecurity threat risks alongside other company risks as part of our overall risk assessment process. The cybersecurity risk identification process includes: (i) identifying information systems and assets, including physical and virtual devices, software, data, data transfers, external systems, and cloud resources; (ii) reviewing organizational business processes, identities, access, and roles (including privileged access), asset configurations, technology policies, standards, controls, and processes; (iii) determining if those systems or assets process or store customer and/or employee personal data, (iv) analyzing the criticality of systems, assets and business processes and sensitivity of data; and (v) identifying vulnerabilities and threats to the identified systems, assets, data, and processes, from both internal and external sources, including through threat intelligence, previous cybersecurity incidents, and third-party assessments. Our processes also consider cybersecurity risks associated with our use of third-party service providers and business partners, including those in our supply chain and those who have access to our customer and employee data or our information systems. Identified third-party service provider and business partner risks are managed by our cybersecurity risk management program. In addition, cybersecurity and privacy considerations affect the selection and oversight of our third-party service providers and business partners, as well as third-party specific integration plans. Additionally, we generally require those third parties that could introduce significant cybersecurity or data privacy risk to us to agree by contract to comply with applicable data protection laws, and to manage their cybersecurity risks by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, and to agree to be subject to cybersecurity audits, which we conduct as appropriate. We employ a range of tools and services to inform our risk preparedness, identification, assessment and remediation processes, including, among others, continuous monitoring, regular reoccurring security and compliance activities, training, threat intelligence, business processes, change management, strategic planning, annual assessments, and periodic testing and assessments performed by qualified security personnel and by third-party firms. As part of the above-described processes, we engage with third-party firms to perform independent assessments, including internal and external penetration tests, configuration assessments, security plan and program assessments, compliance assessments, and incident response readiness exercises to help identify areas for continued focus, improvement and/or compliance. Identified risks are evaluated and assessed by the Company's security review council, comprised of various security, technology, legal and privacy staff members and management. A member of management is assigned as the risk owner and takes an active role in managing the risk, including approving the risk response and risk treatment plan, as well as participating in assessing any residual risk after implementation of the treatment plan. Our Chief Information Security Officer oversees our cybersecurity risk management program. In the event of a potential material risk, the risk is reported to the Chief Information Security Officer, the Chief Technology Officer, the Chief Privacy Officer and to the legal department and the appropriate member of senior management responsible for the function where the risk has been identified. The risk is then reviewed by the Disclosure Committee, which includes among others, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer to determine whether the risk is material for disclosure purposes in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. In 2024 , our business strategy, results of operations, and financial condition were not materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any future material incidents. We describe whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, under the heading "Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence" under Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which disclosures are incorporated by reference herein.

Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The Consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of entities which Gannett controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest ("subsidiaries"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, and the Company consolidates entities that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the Consolidated financial statements include pension and postretirement benefit obligation assumptions, income taxes, goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis, valuation of property, plant, and equipment and the mark to market of the conversion feature associated with the convertible debt.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain reclassificatio ns have been made to the prior year Consolidated financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, the Company updated the presentation of its revenues to reflect the disaggregation between Digital revenues and Print and commercial revenues. These reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss), stockholders' equity or cash flows as previously reported.
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and supplementary cash flow information	Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and supplementary cash flow information Cash equivalents represent highly liquid certificates of deposit which have original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash is held as cash collateral for certain business operations. Restricted cash primarily consists of funding for letters of credit, cash held in an irrevocable grantor trust for our deferred compensation plans and cash held with banking institutions for insurance plans.
Accounts receivable	Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of allowances, which reflect the Company's expected
Inventory	Inventory Inventory consists principally of newsprint, which is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
Property, plant, and equipment, software development costs, and depreciation	Property, plant, and equipment, software development costs and depreciation Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost or at fair value for property, plant, and equipment related to acquired businesses. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized under the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. We capitalize costs to develop software for internal use when it is determined the development efforts will result in new or additional functionality or new products. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria and costs associated with ongoing maintenance are expensed as incurred and included in Operating costs in the accompanying Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) . Property, plant, and equipment and software development costs are evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policy for amortizable intangible assets and other long-lived assets.
Goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets	Goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of newspaper mastheads and finite-lived intangible assets consist of advertiser, subscriber and other customer relationships, as well as trade names, and developed technology. Newspaper mastheads are not amortized because it has been determined that the useful lives of such mastheads are indefinite. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over those useful lives. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of November 30 each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We perform our impairment analysis on each of our reporting units. We evaluate our reporting units annually, as well as when changes in our operating structure occur. The Company has the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment and concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is equal to or greater than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit's goodwill is necessary; otherwise goodwill must be tested for impairment. In the quantitative test, we are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. Fair value of the reporting unit is defined as the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market-based approach. Estimates of fair value include inputs that are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties, and involve matters of significant judgment that are made at a specific point in time. Changes in key assumptions from period to period could significantly affect the estimates of fair value. Significant assumptions used in the fair value estimates include projected revenues and related growth rates over time, projected operating cash flow margins, discount rates, and future economic and market conditions. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimate of fair value, we calculate the impairment as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are newspaper mastheads, are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each group of mastheads with their carrying amount. We use a relief from royalty approach which utilizes a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of newspaper mastheads. Our judgments and estimates of future operating results in determining the reporting unit fair values are consistently applied in determining the fair value of mastheads. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed by asset group, which is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. The assessment of recoverability is based on management's estimates by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups to its carrying value of the asset groups to determine whether an impairment existed at its lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset group, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying value of such asset group exceeds its fair value. All three of our reporting units have goodwill balances. We conducted our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2024 and did not identify any impairment. In addition, we had no impairments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2023 and 2022 .
Income taxes	Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. See Note 11 — Income taxes for further discussion. We also evaluate any uncertain tax positions and recognize a liability for the tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities upon consideration of the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We record a liability for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Any change in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions is recognized in earnings in the period in which such change occurs.
Fair value of financial instruments	Fair value of financial instruments The carrying value of the Company's cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. A discussion of the fair value level of the Company's debt and embedded conversion option is disclosed in Note 8 — Debt . For further details surrounding our policies on fair value measurement, including the fair values of our pension plan assets, refer to Note 10 — Fair value measurement .
Deferred financing costs	Deferred financing costs Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred in connection with debt financings and are recorded as a contra-liability in Long-term debt on the Consolidated balance sheets . Such costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the debt. This amortization represents a component of Interest expense. A proportionate amount of deferred financing costs is written-off upon early prepayment of debt as a component of Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) .
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our contracts with customers sometimes include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenue from sales agreements that contain multiple performance obligations are allocated to each obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers. Digital Digital revenues are primarily derived from digital advertising offerings such as digital marketing services generated through multiple services, including search advertising, display advertising, search optimization, social media, website development, web presence products, customer relationship management, and software-as-a-service solutions, classified advertisements and display advertisements, which may leverage third-party providers, and digital distribution of our publications, as well as digital content syndication, affiliate and content partnerships, and licensing revenues. Digital advertising and marketing revenues are generated primarily by online marketing products provided by our DMS segment. The Company enters into agreements for products in which our clients typically pay in advance and on a monthly basis. These prepayments include all charges for the included technology and any media services, management, third-party content, and other costs and fees, all of which are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue is then recognized as we purchase and deliver media on behalf of the customer and perform other marketing-related services. Digital subscription revenues are derived from digital subscriptions. Digital subscription revenues are generally billed to customers at the beginning of the subscription period and are typically recognized over the subscription period as the performance obligations are delivered. The term of customer subscriptions normally ranges from one to twelve months . Digital other revenues are derived mainly from digital syndication, affiliate, production and licensing revenues and are recognized when the related services are performed. Print and commercial Print and commercial revenues are generated from the sale of local, national, and classified print advertising products, the sale of both home delivery and single copies of our publications, as well as commercial printing and distribution arrangements, and revenues from our events business. The Company generates Print advertising revenues primarily by delivering advertising in its national publication, USA TODAY, and in its local publications including newspapers. Advertising revenues are categorized as local retail, local classified, online, and national. Print advertising revenue is recognized upon publication of the advertisement. Print circulation revenues are derived from print subscriptions as well as single copy sales at retail stores, vending racks and boxes. Print circulation revenues from subscribers are generally billed to customers at the beginning of the subscription period and are typically recognized over the subscription period as the performance obligations are delivered. The term of customer subscriptions normally ranges from one to twelve months . Print circulation revenues from single-copy income are recognized based on the date of publication. The Company provides commercial printing services to third parties as a means to generate incremental revenue and utilize excess printing capacity. Customers consist primarily of other publishers that do not have their own printing presses and do not compete with other Gannett publications. The Company also prints other commercial materials, including flyers, business cards and invitations. Revenue is generally recognized upon delivery. In addition, the Company generates revenues from its events and promotions business. Revenues are generated primarily through ticket sales, endurance events and race management services. Revenue is generally recognized when the event occurs. Principal versus agent considerations We evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis) by performing analyses regarding whether we control the provision of specified goods or services before they are transferred to our customers. We report revenues gross when we control advertising inventory before it is transferred to the customer. Our control is evidenced by us being primarily responsible or sharing responsibility for the fulfillment of services and maintaining control over transaction pricing. Practical expedients and exemptions The Company generally expenses sales commissions or other costs to obtain contracts when incurred because the amortization period is generally one year or less. These costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses . The Company does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. Deferred revenues The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of the Company's performance obligation. The Company's primary source of deferred revenues is from circulation subscriptions paid in advance of the service provided, which represents future delivery of publications (the performance obligation) to subscription customers. The Company expects to recognize the revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations over the next one to twelve months in accordance with the terms of the subscriptions. The Company's payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. The majority of our subscription customers are billed and pay on monthly terms.
Advertising costs	Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Pension and postretirement liabilities	Pension and postretirement liabilities Pension and other postretirement benefit costs under our defined benefit retirement plans are actuarially determined. For plans with frozen benefits, we recognize the cost of postretirement benefits such as pension, medical, and life insurance benefits on an accrual basis over the average life expectancy of employees expected to receive such benefits. For active plans, costs are recognized over the estimated average future service period. We also recognize liabilities associated with the withdrawal from multiemployer pension plans. See Note 9 — Pensions and other postretirement benefit plans for further details.
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation Share-based payments to employees and members of the Board of Directors (i.e., grants of stock options and restricted stock) are recognized in the Consolidated financial statements over the service period (generally the vesting period) based on fair values measured on grant dates, less forfeitures. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Self-insurance liability accruals	Self-insurance liability accruals The Company maintains self-insured medical and workers' compensation programs. The Company purchases stop loss coverage from third parties, which limits our exposure to large claims. The Company records a liability for healthcare and workers' compensation costs during the period in which they occur, including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims.
Concentration of risk	Concentration of risk Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with multiple financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk. Due to the distributed nature of our operations, we are not subject to significant concentrations of risk relating to customers, products, or geographic locations.
Leases	Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease assets , Other current liabilities , and Long-term operating lease liabilities on our Consolidated balance sheets . Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The rates implicit within the Company's leases are generally not determinable; therefore, the Company uses judgment to determine the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using our credit rating and information available related to similar terms and payments as of the commencement date. ROU assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for long-lived assets. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate. The period which is subject to an option to extend the lease is included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The period which is subject to an option to terminate the lease is included if it is reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For all material classes of leased assets, we do not separate lease components from non-lease components, and account for both components as a single lease component. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.
Loss contingencies	Loss contingencies We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. We determine whether to disclose or accrue for loss contingencies based on an assessment of whether the risk of loss is remote, reasonably possible, or probable and whether it can be reasonably estimated. We accrue for loss contingencies when such amounts are probable and reasonably estimable. If a contingent liability is only reasonably possible, we will disclose the potential range of the loss if material and estimable. Legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Foreign currency translation	Foreign currency translation The statements of income of foreign operations have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average currency exchange rates in effect during the relevant period. The balance sheets have been translated using the currency exchange rates as of the end of the accounting period. The impact of currency exchange rate changes on the translation of the balance sheets are included in Comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and are classified as Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated balance sheets and Consolidated statements of equity .
Recent accounting pronouncements adopted and not yet adopted	Recent accounting pronouncements adopted Reportable segment disclosures In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires the amendments to be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the year ended December 31, 2024 and for interim periods beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Consolidated financial statements . Refer to "Note 14 – Segments", which reflects updated disclosures to include segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is our Chief Executive Officer. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Induced conversions of convertible debt instruments In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2024-04, which clarifies the assessment of whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an inducement conversion. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the updated guidance and assessing the impact on the Consolidated financial statements . Disaggregation of income statement expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The disclosures are required on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the updated guidance and assessing the impact on the Consolidated financial statements . Income tax disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2023-09, which enhances annual income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the updated guidance and assessing the impact on the Consolidated financial statements .
