PodcastOne, Inc. reported higher revenue but continued losses and highlighted liquidity risks. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, revenue rose to $15.9M from $12.7M, while net loss narrowed sharply to $0.2M from $1.6M. For the nine months, revenue grew to $46.0M from $38.0M, with net loss improving to $2.2M from $4.6M, reflecting operating leverage as costs grew slower than sales.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.4M from $1.1M, and working capital was about $2.8M as of December 31, 2025. However, the company has an accumulated deficit of $38.3M and states that these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management expects existing cash resources will not cover operating and liquidity needs beyond February 2027 without additional financing or support from majority owner LiveOne, which is not assured.

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.
