Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PodcastOne, Inc. reported record results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. Q3 Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $15.9 million, up from $12.7 million a year earlier, while nine‑month revenue rose to $46.0 million from $38.0 million, reflecting strong growth in its podcast network.

Net loss narrowed sharply, with Q3 loss at $0.2 million versus $1.6 million in the prior‑year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA turned strongly positive, improving to $2.8 million in Q3 from a loss of $0.7 million, and to $4.5 million for the nine months from a loss of $1.4 million.

The company raised its Fiscal 2026 outlook, guiding for record full‑year revenue of $58–60 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $5–6 million. Management highlighted subscriber growth, strategic partnerships, and content successes, including the sale of its show Varnamtown to Paramount, as key drivers.

Positive

  • Record revenue and profitability inflection: Q3 Fiscal 2026 revenue rose to $15.9M and nine‑month revenue to $46.0M, while Adjusted EBITDA swung from a $1.4M loss to a $4.5M gain, signaling a materially improved earnings profile.
  • Raised full-year outlook: Management increased Fiscal 2026 guidance to record revenue of $58–60M and Adjusted EBITDA of $5–6M, indicating confidence in sustaining recent operating momentum.

Negative

  • Continuing net losses and accumulated deficit: Despite improvement, the company still reported a nine‑month net loss of $2.2M and an accumulated deficit of $38.3M, underscoring that it has not yet reached GAAP profitability.

Insights

Strong top-line growth and a major swing to positive Adjusted EBITDA mark a materially improving story.

PodcastOne delivered record Q3 and year‑to‑date revenue, with Q3 Fiscal 2026 at $15.856M versus $12.710M a year earlier, and nine‑month revenue at $46.006M versus $38.022M. This shows solid expansion in its podcast monetization.

Profitability metrics improved even more. Net loss for the nine months shrank from $4.618M to $2.183M, while Adjusted EBITDA flipped from a $1.389M loss to a $4.452M gain. That shift, driven by operating leverage despite higher cost of sales, is a meaningful change in financial profile.

Guidance for Fiscal 2026 targets record revenue of $58–60M and Adjusted EBITDA of $5–6M, implying continued improvement into the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Future filings covering the full year will clarify how sustainably the company can maintain this higher margin trajectory.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures*

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we present Contribution Margin (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, as measures of our performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, operating loss and or net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of our cash flows or liquidity.

 

We use Contribution Margin (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of our operating segment. We believe that information about these non-GAAP financial measures assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect operating income (loss) and net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in our business. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, this measure may vary among other companies; thus, Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

Contribution Margin (Loss) is defined as Revenue less Cost of Sales before (a) Cost of Sales share-based compensation expense, (b) depreciation, and (c) amortization of developed technology. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, other (income) expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and before (a) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and costs, (b) legal, accounting and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, (c) employee severance payments and third party professional fees directly attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities, (d) certain non-recurring expenses associated with legal settlements or reserves for legal settlements in the period that pertain to historical matters that existed at acquired companies prior to their purchase date and a one-time minimum guarantee to effectively terminate a live events distribution agreement post COVID-19, and (e) certain stock-based compensation expense. Management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our core operating results.

 

With respect to projected full fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related charges and legal settlement reserves excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. We expect that the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

 

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP Measure” included at the end of this release.
