Insights

Reservoir Media delivered solid 8% revenue growth with both segments performing well, despite minor net loss from higher interest expenses.

Reservoir Media's Q1 FY26 results showcase a company maintaining healthy momentum across both business segments. The overall 8% revenue growth to $37.2 million demonstrates solid execution, with organic growth of 5% supplemented by strategic acquisitions. The company's Music Publishing segment (67% of revenue) grew by 4%, while Recorded Music (28% of revenue) increased by 8%.

Looking at profitability metrics, the 10% year-over-year improvement in operating income to $5.4 million and 12% growth in OIBDA to $12.8 million indicate strengthening operational efficiency. However, the slight net loss of $0.6 million bears watching, as it was driven by higher interest expenses and losses on fair value swaps, highlighting the impact of the current interest rate environment on the company's debt structure.

Within segments, the Publishing division's performance shows an interesting shift in revenue streams. The 48% surge in synchronization revenue (licensing music for use in visual media) to $4.2 million offset declines in digital and performance revenue. This demonstrates the portfolio's diversification advantage but also raises questions about digital performance in an otherwise growing streaming market.

In Recorded Music, the 23% increase in digital revenue to $8.0 million reflects the continued growth of streaming platforms, though physical sales declined 21% and synchronization dropped 57%. The segment maintained a strong 46% OIBDA margin.

The company's liquidity position strengthened significantly, with available liquidity more than doubling from $79.6 million in March to $173.0 million in June, providing substantial firepower for future catalog acquisitions. Net debt increased slightly to $372.5 million.

Management's maintained guidance of $164-169 million revenue and $68-72 million adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 suggests confidence in continued steady performance through the year, with projected growth rates of 5% for revenue and 6% for adjusted EBITDA at the midpoints.

Total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 8% to $37.2 million, compared to $34.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This increase was driven by a 4% increase in Music Publishing revenue, alongside an 8% increase in Recorded Music revenue that was largely attributable to strong synchronization licensing in the Music Publishing segment and continued growth of digital revenue within the Recorded Music segment.

Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $5.4 million compared to operating income of $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. OIBDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 10% to $12.8 million, compared to $11.3 million in the prior year's quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 10% to $13.9 million, compared to $12.6 million last year, primarily as a result of an increase of total revenue and improving margins. See below for calculations and reconciliations of OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net loss, respectively.

Net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was ($0.6) million, or ($0.01) per share, compared to net loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.01) per share, in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by higher interest expense and losses on fair value swaps, partially offset by gains in foreign exchange and an increase in operating income.

Music Publishing Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $24.9 million, an increase of 4% compared to $24.0 million in last year's first quarter. The increase was mainly driven by a significant upswing in Synchronization revenue and Other revenue attributed to stage rights. This rise was partially offset by declines in both performance and digital revenue.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Music Publishing OIBDA increased 12% to $7.6 million, compared to $6.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Music Publishing OIBDA margin in the first quarter increased from 28% to 30%. The increases in Music Publishing OIBDA and OIBDA Margin embody stronger revenue performance alongside margin expansion.

Recorded Music Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $10.4 million, an increase of 8% compared to $9.6 million in last year's first quarter. The increase was driven by digital revenue with the continued expansion of music streaming services, as well as the acquisition of additional catalogs. These gains were partially offset by a decline in synchronization revenue, driven by the timing of licenses, and a reduction in physical revenue.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Recorded Music OIBDA increased 9%, to $4.9 million, compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Recorded Music OIBDA margin in the first quarter remains unchanged at 46%.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $6.0 million, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the timing of royalty payments.

As of June 30, 2025, Reservoir had cash and cash equivalents of $14.8 million and $158.2 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $173.0 million. Total debt was $387.4 million (net of $4.5 million of deferred financing costs) and Net Debt was $372.5 million (defined as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs). This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $21.4 million and $58.2 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $79.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Total debt was $388.1 million (net of $3.7 million of deferred financing costs) and Net Debt was $366.7 million as of March 31, 2025.

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial information, such as OIBDA, OIBDA margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt, which has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reservoir's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Reservoir's operations, measure its performance and make strategic decisions. Reservoir believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding Reservoir's results of operations and trends in the same manner as Reservoir's management and in evaluating Reservoir's financial measures as compared to the financial measures of other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Reservoir's management about which items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation to analyze Reservoir's business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of Reservoir's management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances. In addition, although other companies in Reservoir's industry may report measures titled OIBDA, OIBDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt, or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how Reservoir calculates such non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. You can find the reconciliation of these non‐GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the tables below.

OIBDA

Reservoir evaluates operating performance based on several factors, including its primary financial measure of operating income before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets ("OIBDA"). Reservoir considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of the operational strengths and performance of its businesses and believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it removes the significant impact of amortization from Reservoir's results of operations. However, a limitation of the use of OIBDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in Reservoir's businesses and other non-operating income (loss). Accordingly, OIBDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income attributable to us and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definition of OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. OIBDA Margin is defined as OIBDA as a percentage of revenue.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before net interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets and is used by management to measure operating performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to adjusting net income to exclude income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, further adjusts net income by excluding items or expenses such as, among others, (1) any non-cash charges (including any impairment charges and loss on early extinguishment of debt and to write-down an equity investment to its estimated fair value), (2) any net gain or loss on foreign exchange, (3) any net gain or loss resulting from interest rate swaps, (4) equity-based compensation expense and (5) certain unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by Reservoir's management to understand and evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. However, certain limitations on the use of Adjusted EBITDA include, among others, (1) it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenue for Reservoir's business, (2) it does not reflect the significant interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Reservoir's indebtedness and (3) it does not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA measure adds back certain non-cash, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income; however, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not the same as net income or cash flow provided by operating activities as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs.

Net Debt

Reservoir defines Net Debt as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs.
