Roundtable Files 8-K: Projects $90-$100 Million in 2027 Revenue and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA-Positive Operations
Roundtable’s 2027 profitability outlook depends on closing and financing its Paradium.AI transaction that underpins the pro forma forecast.
Rhea-AI Summary
Roundtable (RTB) filed an 8‑K outlining a 2027 forecast of approximately $102.1 million in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA‑positive operations, pro forma for its Paradium.AI partnership.
The 2027 model projects Q1 revenue of $19.8 million, full‑year cost of sales of $60.1 million, and gross profit of $42.0 million, implying gross margins of 40% in Q1 and 41% for the year. Operating expenses are forecast at $7.0 million in Q1 and $28.8 million for 2027, yielding projected Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in Q1 and $13.2 million for the full year. The company highlights operating leverage from largely fixed costs as revenue grows past profitability.
The forecast assumes successful closing of the Paradium.AI (PAAI) transaction, which requires financing, and reflects a customer base rising from 64 enterprise media customers in Q1 2027 to 104 by year‑end, with monthly unique users increasing from 83.4 million to 99.8 million.

News Explained
The disclosure adds an EBITDA qualification, not funding: the measure excludes major costs, while June 30 cash equaled 14.4 days of Q2 operating cash use.
The September 22, 2026 release is an operating forecast rather than a completed financing or PAAI closing; it does not disclose financing terms or an ownership change for existing common holders.
The forecast's Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure intended to represent steady-state operations. It excludes transaction, integration, stock-based compensation, depreciation, interest, capital and other listed costs, and the release says a reconciliation to GAAP net income is unavailable without unreasonable effort.

*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure intended to reflect steady-state operations and excludes certain non-cash, transaction, transition and one-time costs, including PAAI transaction and integration expenses, reimbursed severance and staff wind-down costs, stock-based compensation, licensing and vendor transition costs, depreciation and amortization, interest, capital expenditures and professional fees. A reconciliation to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of these items, including the accounting treatment of the Paradium.AI transaction, which could materially affect GAAP results. The forecast requires successful closure of PAAI transaction, which requires financing. See the accompanying press release for the full non-GAAP disclosure.
