Live Ventures Inc. (LIVE) reports that the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada has dismissed all claims against the company in a civil enforcement action brought by the SEC, removing Live Ventures as a defendant in case No. 2:21‑cv‑01433‑JCM‑MDC.
The company states that the dismissal is complete, with no judgment, no penalty, no admission and no findings entered against Live Ventures. The SEC investigation began in late 2017 and the lawsuit was filed in August 2021; the court had previously denied the SEC’s motion for summary judgment in February 2026.
Separately, CEO Jon Isaac agreed to a consent judgment resolving claims against him individually, which includes a civil penalty of $175,000. Live Ventures notes that Mr. Isaac admits no wrongdoing and denies the SEC’s allegations. With this matter resolved, the company highlights its focus on acquiring and operating profitable middle‑market businesses across flooring retail and manufacturing, specialty retail and entertainment, and steel manufacturing.
Live Ventures Incorporated reported fiscal third quarter 2026 results for the period ended June 30, 2026. Revenue was $108.9 million, down 3.2% year over year, with gross profit of $37.1 million and gross margin essentially flat at 34.1%. Operating income declined 34.0% to $5.3 million.
The company recorded a quarterly net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.34) per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $1.24, a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA fell 29.5% to $9.3 million, reflecting lower revenue and higher compensation and professional fees in several segments.
Results were mixed by segment. Retail-Entertainment revenue grew 12.7% to $21.4 million with higher operating income and stable 57.4% gross margin, while Steel Manufacturing revenue rose 7.3% and operating income increased 68.9% to $3.9 million. These gains were offset by continued weakness in Retail-Flooring, where revenue declined 29.4% and operating loss widened to $3.2 million. For the nine months, revenue decreased 3.2% to $320.4 million and the company posted a net loss of $3.6 million, including a $4.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment.

Live Ventures reported fiscal second-quarter 2026 revenue of $102.9 million, down 3.8% from the prior year, as weakness in the Retail-Flooring segment outweighed gains elsewhere. Gross margin improved to 33.6% on better mix and efficiencies.
The company posted an operating loss of $2.0 million versus operating income of $2.1 million a year ago, driven mainly by a $4.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment in Steel Manufacturing. Net loss was $2.4 million, compared with net income of $15.9 million in the prior-year quarter, which had benefited from a large gain on a seller note modification.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.9 million, down 8.8%. Retail-Entertainment delivered double-digit revenue and profit growth, while Retail-Flooring experienced a 26.2% revenue decline and deeper losses amid continued housing-market headwinds. As of March 31, 2026, total cash availability was $39.8 million.

Live Ventures reported fiscal first quarter 2026 results for the period ended December 31, 2025. Revenue was $108.5 million, down 2.7% from $111.5 million a year earlier, but gross margin improved to 32.6%, up from 31.7%.
Operating income rose sharply to $3.5 million from $0.8 million, driven by higher margins and lower operating expenses, while the company recorded a small net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, versus net income of $0.5 million, or $0.16, partly because the prior-year period included $3.5 million of nonrecurring gains.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 35.7% to $7.8 million. The Retail-Entertainment segment grew revenue 11.0%, while Retail-Flooring revenue fell 20.2% and remained loss-making.
