CuriosityStream Inc. reported the results of its 2026 annual stockholder meeting. Of 59,287,600 common shares outstanding as of March 27, 2026, 44,359,198 shares, or 74.82%, were represented, establishing a quorum. Stockholders elected three Class III directors, ratified Grant Thornton LLP as auditor for 2026, and approved on an advisory basis the compensation of named executive officers.

CuriosityStream Inc. reported relatively flat revenue but moved back into a small loss for the quarter. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $15.2 million, essentially unchanged from $15.1 million a year earlier, as lower subscription revenue was offset by higher licensing, including sizable trade and barter deals.
The company posted a net loss of $1.3 million, versus net income of $0.3 million in the prior-year quarter, largely due to a 31% rise in general and administrative expenses driven by higher stock-based compensation. Content amortization and other cost of revenues were stable to slightly higher, while distribution costs fell as music and AI revenue-share fees declined.
CuriosityStream generated $1.2 million of operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $17.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, plus about $7.0 million in short- and long-term debt securities. It continued quarterly cash dividends and share repurchases, and added a new $10 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Citibank, providing additional liquidity. After quarter-end, partners exercised put options that will require CuriosityStream to acquire the remaining 68% of its Spiegel Venture affiliate for $1.9 million, to be funded from cash on hand.
CuriosityStream Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $15.2 million, roughly flat with the prior-year quarter, but improved profitability on a gross basis. Gross profit was $8.5 million, with gross margin rising to 56.1% from 53.1%, reflecting better cost efficiency.
The company posted a net loss of $1.3 million, compared to net income of $0.3 million a year earlier, mainly while absorbing higher advertising, marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Even so, CuriosityStream generated positive Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million, its fifth consecutive quarter in positive territory, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $1.3 million, its ninth consecutive positive quarter.
Operating activities provided $1.2 million of cash, and the company ended the quarter with $23.4 million in cash, restricted cash and held-to-maturity securities and no debt. The Board increased the quarterly dividend to $0.085 per share, or $0.34 annually, and the company repurchased 90 thousand shares.
For 2026, CuriosityStream expects first-half revenue of $35–$41 million and full-year revenue of $75–$80 million, with full-year Adjusted EBITDA targeted between $16 and $20 million.
CuriosityStream Inc. is calling a virtual-only 2026 annual meeting on May 20, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern via live webcast for holders of 59,287,600 common shares as of March 27, 2026.
Stockholders will vote on electing three Class III directors through 2029, amending the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan to raise its share authorization from 10,725,000 to 11,725,000, ratifying Grant Thornton LLP as auditor for 2026, approving executive pay on an advisory basis, and choosing how often to hold future say-on-pay votes. The board recommends voting for all proposals and a one-year say-on-pay frequency. Management highlights equity awards as a key tool for retaining talent, noting burn rates of 6.9% in 2025 and 9.7% in 2024 and only 198,075 shares remaining available under the plan.
CuriosityStream Inc. reported that President and CEO Clinton Larry Stinchcomb had 600,000 performance-based restricted stock units convert into common stock after the Board determined on March 10, 2026 that the company met the second performance condition tied to 2025 revenue and adjusted free cash flow growth.
In connection with this vesting, 196,738 common shares were withheld at $3.27 per share to cover tax obligations, a non-market disposition. Following these transactions, Stinchcomb owns 2,821,260 shares of CuriosityStream common stock directly.
CuriosityStream Inc. filed its annual report describing a niche streaming and factual media business that remains unprofitable but cash-generative from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the company reported $71.7 million in revenue and a net loss of $6.4 million, with an accumulated deficit of $335.8 million.
The company monetizes a library of roughly 14,000 programs across four streams: direct-to-consumer and partner subscriptions, traditional and AI-focused content licensing, bundled distribution through MVPD and vMVPD partners, and advertising and sponsorships, including AVOD and FAST channels such as dedicated YouTube and linear channels.
Management highlights new revenue from licensing video and audio assets to train generative AI models and a growing use of non-cash barter deals that swap library content for programming or advertising inventory. The filing also notes declining DTC subscriptions, intense competition from large streaming platforms, reliance on key partners, frequent barter transactions, significant past impairments, and ongoing cost-saving initiatives, all of which may pressure future growth and profitability.
CuriosityStream Inc. reported strong growth for 2025, highlighted by a major improvement in profitability and cash generation plus expanded capital returns. Full-year revenue rose 40% to $71.7 million, while gross margin increased to 57%, lifting gross profit to $40.5 million.
The company narrowed its net loss to $6.4 million and generated Adjusted EBITDA of $8.2 million, a sharp turnaround from a $6.0 million Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities reached $13.1 million, supporting Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $13.9 million and ending cash, restricted cash and securities of $27.3 million with no debt.
The Board authorized an additional $2.0 million for share repurchases, bringing total authorization to $6.0 million, alongside $22.0 million of dividends paid in 2025. For the first half of 2026, CuriosityStream expects revenue of $38–$42 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $6–$9 million.
CuriosityStream granted Chief Commercial Officer John T. Vilade a total of 250,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 10, 2026 under its 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. One award covers 150,000 performance-based RSUs that vest in four tranches of 37,500 when the Board determines specific performance conditions are achieved, tied either to 10-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) targets of $6.50, $7.50, $9.50 and $11.50 or to achieving 2026–2029 annual bonus plan targets at 100%. Any of these RSUs not earned by January 31, 2030 will be cancelled. The second award covers 100,000 RSUs that vest in four equal annual tranches of 25,000 on the first through fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Each RSU represents one share of common stock, settled at or within 30 days after vesting, and all vesting requires continued employment.
