Q1 Fiscal 2025 Results Summary Discussion

 

For Q1 Fiscal 2025, LiveOne posted revenue of $33.1 million, a 19% increase, as compared to $27.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The Audio Division revenue was a record $31.9 million, a 24% increase, as compared to revenue of $25.7 in Q1 Fiscal 2024.

 

Q1 Fiscal 2025 Operating Loss was ($0.8) million compared to Operating Loss of ($0.3) million in Q1 Fiscal 2024. The $0.5 million increase in Operating Income was largely a result of an increase in operating expenses.

 

Q1 Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA* improved to $2.9 million, as compared to Q1 Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.2 million. Q1 Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA* was comprised of Audio Division Adjusted EBITDA* of $5.1 million, Other Operations Adjusted EBITDA* of ($0.6) million and Corporate Adjusted EBITDA* of ($1.6) million. Audio Division Q1 Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA* of $5.1 million was driven by improved Contribution Margin* along with decreases in operating expenses.

 

Capital expenditures for Q1 Fiscal 2024 totaled approximately $0.7 million, which were driven by capitalized software costs associated with development of LiveOne’s integrated music player and pay-per-view services.

 

LiveOne is maintaining its guidance for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 of consolidated revenue of $140 million - $155 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $16 million - $20 million, and for its Audio Division revenue of $130 million - $140 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $20 million - $25 million.

* About 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. 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, (e) depreciation and amortization (including goodwill impairment, if any), and (f) 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 2025 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.
