Total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 8% to $37.2 million, compared to $34.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This increase was driven by a 4% increase in Music Publishing revenue, alongside an 8% increase in Recorded Music revenue that was largely attributable to strong synchronization licensing in the Music Publishing segment and continued growth of digital revenue within the Recorded Music segment.
Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $5.4 million compared to operating income of $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. OIBDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 10% to $12.8 million, compared to $11.3 million in the prior year’s quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 10% to $13.9 million, compared to $12.6 million last year, primarily as a result of an increase of total revenue and improving margins. See below for calculations and reconciliations of OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net loss, respectively.
Net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was ($0.6) million, or ($0.01) per share, compared to net loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.01) per share, in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by higher interest expense and losses on fair value swaps, partially offset by gains in foreign exchange and an increase in operating income.

Music Publishing Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $24.9 million, an increase of 4% compared to $24.0 million in last year’s first quarter. The increase was mainly driven by a significant upswing in Synchronization revenue and Other revenue attributed to stage rights. This rise was partially offset by declines in both performance and digital revenue.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Music Publishing OIBDA increased 12% to $7.6 million, compared to $6.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Music Publishing OIBDA margin in the first quarter increased from 28% to 30%. The increases in Music Publishing OIBDA and OIBDA Margin embody stronger revenue performance alongside margin expansion.

Recorded Music Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $10.4 million, an increase of 8% compared to $9.6 million in last year’s first quarter. The increase was driven by digital revenue with the continued expansion of music streaming services, as well as the acquisition of additional catalogs. These gains were partially offset by a decline in synchronization revenue, driven by the timing of licenses, and a reduction in physical revenue.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Recorded Music OIBDA increased 9%, to $4.9 million, compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Recorded Music OIBDA margin in the first quarter remains unchanged at 46%.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $6.0 million, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the timing of royalty payments.
As of June 30, 2025, Reservoir had cash and cash equivalents of $14.8 million and $158.2 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $173.0 million. Total debt was $387.4 million (net of $4.5 million of deferred financing costs) and Net Debt was $372.5 million (defined as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs). This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $21.4 million and $58.2 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $79.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Total debt was $388.1 million (net of $3.7 million of deferred financing costs) and Net Debt was $366.7 million as of March 31, 2025.
Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook
Reservoir maintains its previously provided financial outlook range for fiscal year 2026, and expects the financial results for the year ending March 31, 2026, to be as follows:
Outlook
Guidance
Growth
(at mid-point)
Revenue

This press release includes certain financial information, such as OIBDA, OIBDA margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt, which has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reservoir’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Reservoir’s operations, measure its performance and make strategic decisions. Reservoir believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding Reservoir’s results of operations and trends in the same manner as Reservoir’s management and in evaluating Reservoir’s financial measures as compared to the financial measures of other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Reservoir’s management about which items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation to analyze Reservoir’s business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of Reservoir’s management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances. In addition, although other companies in Reservoir’s industry may report measures titled OIBDA, OIBDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt, or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how Reservoir calculates such non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. You can find the reconciliation of these non‐GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the tables below.
OIBDA
Reservoir evaluates operating performance based on several factors, including its primary financial measure of operating income before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets ("OIBDA"). Reservoir considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of the operational strengths and performance of its businesses and believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it removes the significant impact of amortization from Reservoir’s results of operations. However, a limitation of the use of OIBDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in Reservoir’s businesses and other non-operating income (loss). Accordingly, OIBDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income attributable to us and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definition of OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. OIBDA Margin is defined as OIBDA as a percentage of revenue.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before net interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets and is used by management to measure operating performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to adjusting net income to exclude income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, further adjusts net income by excluding items or expenses such as, among others, (1) any non-cash charges (including any impairment charges and loss on early extinguishment of debt and to write-down an equity investment to its estimated fair value), (2) any net gain or loss on foreign exchange, (3) any net gain or loss resulting from interest rate swaps, (4) equity-based compensation expense and (5) certain unusual or non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by Reservoir’s management to understand and evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. However, certain limitations on the use of Adjusted EBITDA include, among others, (1) it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenue for Reservoir’s business, (2) it does not reflect the significant interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Reservoir’s indebtedness and (3) it does not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA measure adds back certain non-cash, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income; however, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not the same as net income or cash flow provided by operating activities as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs.
Net Debt
Reservoir defines Net Debt as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs.

Created by Carrie Murray, the new series explores what it means to amplify voices, navigate darkness, and use story as a catalyst for social change
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2025 / In a time of uncertainty, storytelling becomes a lifeline. It connects us to not only the truth, but to each other. It gives us hope in a time when the world feels heavy and uncertain. Inspired by the legacy of those who spoke out when silence was easier, Carrie On! With Carrie Murray explores how personal narrative can spark collective action.
For Carrie Murray, what started off as dinner parties with fellow frustrated entrepreneurs quickly turned into a thriving network of women committed to rewriting the rules of business and life. After a decade of connecting thousands of women in business and stimulating over $ 2.5 million in funding through the Bra Network, Carrie is turning the spotlight on a new project: Carrie On. Carrie’s new web series invites intergenerational conversations that span career, identity, resilience, and liberation. She’s not asking for a seat at the table; she’s setting her own.
As the host and creator of Carrie On!, a bold web series and podcast that hands the mic to voices rich with unfiltered wisdom, wit, rage, reinvention, and joy, Carrie makes sure that Carrie On! doesn’t just tell stories, but that it reminds us we’re not alone. The show is made for anyone on the edge of transformation: Gen Xers in their reinvention era, millennials holding it all together, and even younger listeners who’ve been forced to grow up fast.
Born from Carrie’s disappointment by the complacency of some women, yet deeply inspired and energized by those who are rising up, Carrie On! is Carrie’s way of bringing together two of her greatest passions: fearless entrepreneurship and bold, disruptive women sharing their truths. This is a space for women 40+ to have the tough, necessary conversations and shine a light on what we need right now.
The 2024 election made one thing painfully clear: marginalized voices are under attack. Government policies are muting dissent, and without relentless advocacy, our democracy and fundamental rights are at risk.
Carrie On! is a stand, a space for women to show up, speak out, share their talents, and get unapologetically real. Because they refuse to be muted.
Host Carrie Murray, beautifully photographed by Kathy Schuh
Carrie Murray is a founder, speaker, author, and unapologetic amplifier of those often pushed to the edges. She is the founder of BRA – Business Relationship Alliance – a community built to connect and elevate female and non-binary entrepreneurs through visibility, collaboration, and real, lasting support.
With a background in social justice, education, and entrepreneurship, Carrie brings a lived understanding of what it means to build something meaningful while balancing real life. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, later becoming a teacher, school principal, and founder of a school for twice-exceptional students. Her leap into entrepreneurship was born out of necessity, curiosity, and community, and she’s been building bridges for others ever since.
In a culture that’s constantly telling women to shrink, Carrie On! invites you to expand. This is the show for those done being defined by what they lack and ready to be seen for what they are: brilliant, brave, and fully here.

Smart filtering preserves ROI for true interest
ASHLAND, OH / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2025 / Medium Interactive introduced an intuitive solution that helps marketers block spammy referral traffic from digital ad campaigns (for example, "Google Ads Performance Max Campaigns Syndicated Search"). While it’s assumed that ad-platform AI increasingly favors sources with high conversion volumes-sometimes seeming to not consider lead quality-this framework returns control to campaign managers.
Developed to work with WordPress, the recommended, easiest-to-implement approach is a lightweight script that detects incoming referral sources and lets teams define which page elements to hide or where to redirect unwanted visitors. In a short amount of time, marketers can tailor form displays, phone-number visibility, gated-content access, or virtually any other on-page feature. This flexibility extends beyond simple blocking to enable personalized messaging or creative workflows driven by referral context.
"While the AI that drives modern ad platforms seems to serve more ads to whichever audience converts most frequently, we need to find smart ways to ensure that the quantity of spammy leads does not dilute our ad budgets," says Sean Manion, Owner of Medium Interactive. "This system can be put into play within minutes and delivers immediate improvements to ROAS."
A dedicated WordPress plugin is in development to simplify integration for developers and campaign managers alike, but the quick-script deployment-easily managed via Google Tag Manager or written into a WordPress site’s theme-provides a rapid path to value without extensive configuration.
Medium Interactive offers full support for planning, deployment, and customization to ensure seamless adoption within existing tech stacks. To learn more or to request hands-on assistance, please visit: https://mediuminteractive.com/contact/

New Initiatives to Raise Profile, Drive Sales Growth
BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2025 / Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm specializing in the small cap and microcap sectors, announced today that it has published a new research report on CleanGo Innovations Inc. (OTCQB:CLGOF)(CSE:CGII)(FRA:APO.F), an emerging provider of a novel, non-toxic, biodegradable, cutting-edge suite of green-certified, easy "spray-on" cleaning products with industrial applications. The Goldman report carries a price target. To view the new research report, along with disclosures and disclaimers, or to download the report in its entirety, please visit: https://goldmansmallcapresearch.com/opportunity-research/new-initiatives-sales-growth-to-drive-shares-to-new-highs/
CleanGo Innovations Inc. is at the forefront of developing and commercializing proprietary non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning and industrial solutions for oil services and industrial cleaning markets. Driven by a mission for environmental sustainability, CleanGo’s innovative product suite is designed to deliver high performance while safeguarding the planet, serving critical cleaning needs across the oil and gas, mining, commercial, and retail sectors globally.
In the Opportunity Research report, analyst Rob Goldman reviews this undervalued and underfollowed innovator including its potentially unique, lucrative positioning and valuation drivers.
An Innovator with a Huge Market Opportunity
Goldman commented, "In our view, CleanGo is poised to change the way oil and gas industry, along with the overall commercial sector, approaches critical industrial cleaning applications. CleanGo has a non-toxic, Green Seal Certified, easily applied spray that is cost-effective and offers a major, hidden ROI. The size of the potential markets just in the oil and gas space are projected to grow from $33.42B today to $50.24 by 2034. These include cleaning wells, tanks, tankers, and other vessels and equipment around the world."
CleanGo Offers Major Leverage and ROI to Customers
"Management estimates that there are an estimated 2 million wells globally, with approximately 400,000 of them, or one in five, clogged or stagnant. CleanGo’s green solutions are vital for restoring these wells to optimal production and enhancing oil recovery," noted Goldman. "On the heels of this opportunity, we believe that as sales and implementation of the Company’s products reach critical mass, CleanGo could serve as a replacement for this segment’s existing methods and solutions, due to inherent advantages. These include the restoration of restoring wells to optimal production while simultaneously enhancing oil recovery. Such after-effects would serve as boon to oil producers and oil service companies, thereby increasing their ROI and production capabilities."
New Initiatives Poised to Raise Profile and Valuation
"We believe sales could reach the $10M mark by 2027. Plus, with strong gross margin and low SG&A costs, CleanGo could operate profitably with just $4M in annual sales. Our 6-month price target reflects a low 3.5x price/sales multiple on projected 2026E sales, a metric similar to that of the Russell Microcap Growth Index. Given the expected sales growth rate, and path to profit, our price target and metric could be considered conservative," concluded Goldman.

Brath Credits Six-Hour Workday for Long-Term Business Success

Founder says key talent just never leaves
STOCKHOLM, SE / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2025 / Brath, the Swedish SEO agency known for its consistent performance and sustainable growth, attributes much of its long-term success to a bold decision made over a decade ago: adopting a six-hour workday with full pay.
Founded in 2012 by entrepreneur Magnus Bråth, the agency implemented the shortened workday from its inception. The goal was clear: build a company where high productivity and employee well-being could coexist. More than ten years later, the results speak for themselves.
"Some think working fewer hours means getting less done. That’s not true. It’s the opposite," says Magnus Bråth. "We believe that focused time beats long hours every day of the week. The six-hour day gives our team the energy and clarity to produce work of a much higher standard."
Unlike many experiments in shorter workweeks, Brath never framed the schedule as a trial. It has remained a permanent part of the company’s model, even as the team expanded and clients multiplied.
The six-hour workday has helped Brath attract top talent in a competitive industry. Employees appreciate the balance it offers and, in return, deliver strong results with less burnout, lower turnover, and high client satisfaction.
"Many businesses chase performance with longer hours and higher pressure," Bråth continues. "We decided to go the other way. And it’s worked, not just for our people, but for our bottom line."
With a growing international client base and a reputation for delivering real SEO results, Brath’s approach is now being studied by leaders worldwide who are rethinking what productivity means in the modern workplace.
About Brath Brath is a leading SEO agency based in Sweden, specializing in organic search and online visibility. Founded in 2012, the company has built a reputation for strategic clarity, consistent delivery, and a forward-thinking workplace culture.
negaraku II: Exploring Malaysian Identity at Hin Bus Depot

GEORGETOWN, PENANG / ACCESS Newswire / August 3, 2025 / What does it mean to call yourself a Malaysian today? This August, negaraku II invites everyone to explore this question at the vibrant Hin Bus Depot in George Town, Penang. Building on the momentum of the first negaraku last August, this anthology deepens the conversation around identity, belonging, and the many stories that make Malaysia what it is today.
Lebuh Pudu by Gan Chin Lee
Curated by Ivan Gabriel and produced by Hin Bus Depot, negaraku II brings together compelling pieces from the private collections of Bingley Sim and Ima Norbinsha, two passionate champions of socially conscious Malaysian contemporary art. The exhibition features around 35 curated works, with some shown as thematic sets – bringing the total number of individual pieces to roughly 60. Their collections reflect decades of dedication to works that do-not-just depict Malaysia but ask us to confront its complexities.
While the original negaraku sparked discussions about nationhood through powerful visual storytelling, negaraku II widens the lens to include the diverse voices of citizens, migrants, and everyone in between; recognising that Malaysia’s identity is a constantly evolving mosaic of cultures and experiences. The exhibition creates space for often-overlooked narratives, reminding us that our national story is far from one-dimensional.

"negaraku II is a call to re-examine what it means to belong," says curator Ivan Gabriel at the opening day of negaraku II exhibition at Hin Bus Depot, "It’s about honouring every face and every untold story that breathes life into this land. The works we’ve gathered are living reflections of the people and everyday realities that shape Malaysia. By organising the exhibition into bab, or thematic chapters, we wanted to guide visitors through stories that touch on pride, migration, food, and shared aspirations – while still leaving room for the public to bring their own meaning to the journey."
Bingley Sim by Arif Fauzan Santai
"Our theme, Rakyat Hidup, Bersatu dan Maju, is a reflection of how Malaysians live – not just side by side, but truly together," says collector Bingley Sim. "In every piece, you’ll find glimpses of everyday harmony, whether it’s a neighbour’s kindness, a shared meal, or the resilience of those who came from elsewhere and now call this home. These quiet, powerful gestures echo across the bab in the exhibition, reminds us that unity isn’t about being the same, but about choosing to see and support each other, again and again."
This year’s edition also features new artworks by selected artists, offering fresh perspectives on the urgent social and political issues of our time. Beyond the artworks themselves, negaraku II comes alive through a dynamic public programme that includes multilingual guided tours in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, and Sign Language, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or ability, feels welcome.
Colour Study of I’m in Mamak Stall by Gan Chin Lee
But negaraku II doesn’t stop at the gallery door. Embracing the simple joys that bind Malaysians together, the exhibition introduces live food demonstrations, where visitors can savour the making of classics like Roti Jala and Nasi Ulam. These communal moments of tasting and storytelling transform the space into a living, breathing celebration of shared memory and connection.
negaraku II challenges us to imagine a Malaysia that is big enough for all its people, however they arrived and however they find home. It invites us to see, taste, and feel the many threads that weave together our national identity, and to celebrate the beauty of a country always in the making. Supported by Yayasan Mr. D.I.Y. and Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers, the exhibition is free to the public and runs from 1 August to 31 August 2025 at Hin Bus Depot.
Art collectors for over 20 years, their passion and compassion for life, the stories, inspiration and motivation of those who pour themselves into a work makes the sharing of the collection a labour of love. The ubiquitous couple can be found at art events throughout the country and regionally.
About Ivan Gabriel
A multidisciplinary Malaysian artist, curator, educator, and performer whose work spans the visual arts, theatre, and community-based storytelling. Rooted in George Town, Penang, Ivan currently serves as Gallery Manager and Curator at Hin Bus Depot, one of Malaysia’s leading independent art spaces.
