Cineverse Corp.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Cineverse Corp. (“Cineverse”, “us”, “our”, "we", and “Company” refers to Cineverse Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000.
The Company has a long legacy in using technology to transform the entertainment industry and played a pioneering role in transitioning movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution. Over the past several years, Cineverse has transformed itself from being a digital cinema equipment and physical content distributor to a leading independent streaming company.
Cineverse is a streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business operating as (i) a portfolio of owned and operated streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of feature films and television programs; and (iii) a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content distribution through subscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported video on demand ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and audio podcasts. Our streaming channels reach audiences in several distinct ways: direct-to-consumer, through these major application platforms, and through third-party distributors of content on platforms.
The Company’s streaming technology platform, known as Matchpoint™, is a software-based streaming operating platform which provides clients with AVOD, SVOD, transactional video on demand ("TVOD") and linear capabilities, automates the distribution of content, and features a robust data analytics platform.
We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Highlander, as well as international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, and Tubi, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.
Our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNVS.”
Financial Condition and Liquidity
We have a history of net losses, and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 the Company had a net loss attributable to Common Stockholders of $(1.0) million and $(10.3) million, respectively. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $(511.2) million and negative working capital of $(1.4) million. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $23.3 million and included $7.9 million of incremental investment in our content portfolio via advances or minimum guarantee payouts.
The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended on April 8, 2025, with East West Bank (the "Line of Credit Facility") providing for borrowings of up to $12.5 million guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The facility includes provisions that allow for an increase in total borrowing capacity up to $15.0 million, subject to lender approval.
As of December 31, 2025, $8.3 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility. Under the Line of Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants including terms which require the Company to maintain certain metrics and ratios, to maintain certain minimum cash on hand, and to report financial information to our lender on a periodic basis. The Line of Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to 1.25% above the prime rate, equal to 8.0% as of December 31, 2025. The Line of Credit Facility matures on April 8, 2028. Please see Note 7 - Debt, for further information regarding the Company's Line of Credit Facility.
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “2024 Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and The Benchmark Company, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agents, shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold for an aggregate offering price of up to $15 million. The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the continuing effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-273098) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and

The Company will pay the Sales Agents a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the ATM (“At-the-Market”) Sales Agreement. Any sales of shares made under the ATM Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to the effective shelf registration statement, for an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold 178 thousand and 228 thousand shares for net proceeds of $386 thousand and $636 thousand, respectively, after deduction of commissions and fees.
The Company will continue to invest in content development and acquisitions, from which it believes it will obtain an appropriate return on its investment. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, short-term content advances were $7.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and content advances, net of current portion, were $9.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use existing capital resources and/or undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital needs. Management's plans with respect to the Company's recurring net losses and net operating cash outflows also include but are not limited to our effort in increasing revenue from existing services as well as offering new services, which may result in additional income from operations. Should management be unsuccessful in executing these plans, additional capital resources will be necessary. There can be no assurance that resources under our Line of Credit Facility or from additional debt or equity resources will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cineverse Corp. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2025. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company following the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain columns and rows may not foot due to the use of rounded numbers.
The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
We own an 85% interest in CON TV, LLC ("CONtv"), a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content on the internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets. We evaluated the investment under the voting interest entity model and determined that the entity should be consolidated as we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of outstanding voting shares, and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, content advances, returns and recovery reserves, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and amortization of intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates these judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.
Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” We maintain bank accounts with major banks, which from time to time may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limits. We periodically assess the financial condition of the institutions and believe that the risk of any loss is minimal.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Computer equipment and software |
| 3 – 5 years |
Internal use software |
| 3 – 5 years |
Machinery and equipment |
| 3 – 10 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
| 3 – 7 years |
We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is determined that the software will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and modifications. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net and include external direct cost of services procured in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized over the useful life of the software. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We amortize internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.
Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs.
Amortization lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Capitalized Content
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of content from which it expects to generate a return over the anticipated useful life and the Company’s predominant monetization strategy informs the method of amortizing these deferred costs. The determination of the predominant monetization strategy is made at commencement of the production or license period and the classification of the monetization strategy as individual or group only changes if there is a significant change to the title’s monetization strategy relative to its initial assessment. The costs are capitalized to the Capitalized Content costs within Intangible Assets and are amortized as a group within Depreciation and Amortization within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should
11
Cineverse Corp.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known as impairment indicators.
Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company annually assesses goodwill for potential impairment during its fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if events occur or circumstances indicate it would be more likely than not that fair value would be reduced below its carrying amount. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
There were no assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2025.
Content Advances
Content advances represent amounts prepaid to studios or content producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record a provision for amounts that we expect may not be recoverable. Amounts which are expected to be recovered in more than 12 months are classified as long term and presented within content advances, net of current portion, which were $9.2 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a reduction in our reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $50 thousand and $293 thousand, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction in its reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $67 thousand and $37 thousand, respectively.

Deferred Consideration
The Company has recognized a liability related to a deferred consideration arrangement related to the acquisitions of FoundationTV ("FTV") and Digital Media Rights ("DMR"). These payments are fixed in nature and are due to the seller of the respective company. The Company initially recognized the liability at fair value at the time of acquisition and has since recognized interest expense related to accretion in advance of the ultimate settlement.
The deferred consideration related to the acquisition of DMR was payable in either shares of Common Stock or cash, at the Company's discretion and subject to certain conditions. The final deferred consideration payment of $2.4 million was made on April 1, 2025 through the issuance of 677 thousand shares of Common Stock.
The final deferred consideration payment of $559 thousand related to the FTV acquisition was paid in cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2025.
Revenue Recognition
Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30-to-90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.

The Company's Streaming and digital revenue pertains to its OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and subscription revenue related to the Company's streaming business and partnerships. Base distribution revenue relates to non-streaming revenue, including Theatrical revenue, license fees and the sale of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Podcast and other revenue primarily relate to the Company's Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. As the Company satisfies its performance obligations from these revenue sources, whether relating to the delivery of digital content, physical goods, or licensing, revenue is generally measured at a point in time.
The Company follows the five-step model established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC 606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognition.

Principal Agent Considerations
Revenue earned from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in direct operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.
Credit Losses
We maintain reserves for expected credit losses on accounts receivable primarily on a specific identification basis. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
We recognize accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that we recognize revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances are variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

Contract Liabilities
We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, such as the sale of DVDs with future release dates, even if amounts are refundable. Amounts recorded as contract liabilities are generally not long-term in nature.
The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, was $8 thousand and $183 thousand, respectively. In each period, the additions to our deferred revenue balance are due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions are due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

Participations and Royalties Payable
When we use third-parties to distribute Company-owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor under revenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or content producers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to us by such studios or content producers.
Concentrations
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, a single customer represented 23% and 26% of revenues, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, a single customer represented 56% and 37% of revenues, respectively.
Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty expenses, reserves against advances and marketing and direct personnel costs.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company issues stock-based awards to employees and non-employees, generally in the form of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss based on their fair values. The Company measures the compensation expense of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and SARs are calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the trading price of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data and judgment regarding future trends and factors. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States and India.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued but not yet effective by FASB for consideration of their applicability. ASU's not included in the Company's disclosures were assessed and determined to be not applicable and material to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. (Topic 740)" On an annual basis, this update requires the disclosure of specific tax categories in the rate reconciliation and provides additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The Company is adopting this update for our fiscal year end disclosure.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220)", requiring all public business entities to provide additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (Topic 326)" aiming to simplify the estimation of credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” by providing companies an option to assume that the conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of these assets while estimating expected credit losses. The standard is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 "Intangibles: Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" to modernize the accounting for software costs under, Intangible: Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (referred to as “internal-use software”). Upon adoption, we will be required to account for internal-use software under the updated capitalization criteria. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing adoption timing and the method of adoption.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis to make operating decisions, assess financial performance, and allocate resources.
In evaluating performance, the CODM primarily assesses operating income (loss) and net income (loss), as reported within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and regularly reviews certain significant expense categories, including royalty expense; license, participation and technology costs; other direct operation costs; payroll and related expenses; professional services; advertising and marketing; amortization; and other general and administrative. These expense categories are considered key factors in managing the business and guiding resource allocation decisions. This approach ensures that the Company’s financial reporting reflects the way management monitors expenses and overall financial performance.

6. Earnings per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Common Stock holders, adjusted for by the deemed earnings attributable to participating common warrant holders, by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to Common Stock holders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include restricted stock units, stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to Common Stock holders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of the

7. DEBT
Line of Credit Facility
The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended on April 8, 2025, with East West Bank (the "Line of Credit Facility") providing for borrowings of up to $12.5 million guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The facility includes provisions that allow for an increase in total borrowing capacity up to $15.0 million, subject to lender approval. Under the Line of Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants which require the Company to maintain certain metrics and ratios, maintain certain minimum cash on hand and to report financial information to our lender on a periodic basis. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was out of compliance with a debt covenant. The Company has received a waiver from East West Bank waiving this violation until the next measurement date of April 30, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025, $8.3 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility and there are unamortized issuance costs of $142 thousand included in other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company had interest expense, including cash interest and amortization, of $0.1 million and $0.2 million related to its Line of Credit Facility, respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company had interest expense, including cash interest and amortization, of $0.2 million and $0.5 million related to its Line of Credit Facility, respectively.
Term Loan
On April 5, 2024, Cineverse Terrifier LLC ("T3 Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BondIt LLC ("T3 Lender") and the Company, as guarantor (the "T3 Loan Agreement").
The T3 Loan Agreement provides for a term loan with a principal amount not to exceed $3.666 million ( the "T3 Loan"), and a maturity date of April 1, 2025, with a permitted extension of the term for 120 days under certain conditions. The T3 Loan bears no interest until the maturity date other than an interest advance equal to $576 thousand at the closing of the T3 Loan on April 5, 2024. The interest advance was recorded as a discount on the T3 Loan at inception and will be amortized to interest expense and increase the loan amount over its term. If the T3 Loan is extended as noted above, the T3 Loan will bear interest at a rate of 1.44% per month. The T3 Borrower may prepay the obligations under the T3 Loan, in full or in part, without penalty or premium. The proceeds under the T3 Loan Agreement were used for the funding under the Company’s distribution arrangements for the film titled Terrifier 3 (the “Film”). The T3 Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, representation and warranties and events of default.
After the principal of the T3 Loan is paid in full, the T3 Lender will be entitled to receive 15% of all royalties earned by the Company on the Film under its distribution agreements for the Film until the T3 Lender has received in total 1.75 times the full commitment amount of $3.666 million ("Participation Interest"). The T3 Loan is secured by a first priority interest in all of T3 Borrower’s assets in connection with the Film, including T3 Borrower's rights, title and interest in the distribution agreements, including the proceeds to the T3 Borrower from the distribution of the Film. The $3.666 million principal of the T3 Loan was paid during the three months ended December 31, 2024.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company negotiated a reduction to the accrued Participation Interest of $375 thousand and made a final payment of $944 thousand to the T3 Lender. The $375 thousand reduction to Participation Interest was recorded as a reduction to interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
Cineverse operates in a remote environment without domestic operating leases. The Company previously maintained one domestic operating lease acquired through the acquisition of Digital Media Rights ("DMR"), which was subleased to a third-party. The Company was not relieved of its original lease obligation and therefore recognized both a lease liability and right-of-use asset as part of the arrangement through the end of the lease term in January 2025. In addition, the Company has three operating leases related to its Cineverse India operations, with expiration dates in July 2027. Expenses related to these leases were $75 thousand and $197 thousand during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $117 thousand and $351 thousand during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Company did not have any sublease arrangements during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and accordingly did not recognize any sublease income. The Company recognized $46 thousand and $138 thousand of sublease income related to its subleasing arrangement during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

9. INCOME TAXES
We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions. We recognized income tax expense of $19 thousand and $53 thousand for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. We recognized income tax expense of $6 thousand and $19 thousand for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Our income tax expense is attributable to taxable income earned in India relating to transfer pricing as well as state income taxes in the U.S.
We have recorded income tax expense of $53 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 related to U.S. state and foreign income taxes. We have not recorded tax benefits on our U.S. deferred tax assets because we continue to provide a valuation allowance for all our U.S. net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 as it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered based on an insufficient history of earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 was (0.8)% and (0.5)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 was 0.1% and 0.6%, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”; Pub. L. 119-21) into law. The Act introduces significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The company evaluated the Act and concluded it will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
OBBBA retains the 21% federal corporate income tax rate, restores and makes permanent the 100% bonus depreciation for “qualified property” acquired on or after January 20, 2025, and permits immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental costs.
10. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Asset Acquisition
On January 7, 2026, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Giant Worldwide, a global media services provider serving the world's leading Hollywood studios and streaming platforms, as previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 7, 2026.

Cineverse Corp. (“Cineverse”, “us”, “our”, "we", and “Company” refers to Cineverse Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000.
The Company has a long legacy in using technology to transform the entertainment industry and played a pioneering role in transitioning movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution. Over the past several years, Cineverse has transformed itself from being a digital cinema equipment and physical content distributor to a leading independent streaming company.
Cineverse is a streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business operating as (i) a portfolio of owned and operated streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of feature films and television programs; and (iii) a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content distribution through subscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported video on demand ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and audio podcasts. Our streaming channels reach audiences in several distinct ways: direct-to-consumer, through these major application platforms, and through third-party distributors of content on platforms.
The Company’s streaming technology platform, known as Matchpoint™, is a software-based streaming operating platform which provides clients with AVOD, SVOD, transactional video on demand ("TVOD") and linear capabilities, automates the distribution of content, and features a robust data analytics platform.
We distribute products for major brands such as Hallmark, ITV, Nelvana, ZDF, Konami, NFL and Highlander, as well as international and domestic content creators, movie producers, television producers and other short-form digital content producers. We collaborate with producers, major brands and other content owners to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted audiences through (i) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including but not limited to Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Xbox, Pluto, and Tubi, as well as (ii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray Discs.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $(511.2) million and negative working capital of $(1.4) million. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss attributable to the Company's common stock holders of $(1.0) million and $(10.3) million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $23.3 million, which included $7.9 million of incremental investment in our content portfolio via advances or minimum guarantee payouts. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, 1.9 million warrants were exercised for net proceeds of $5.8 million.
The Company is party to a Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, as amended on April 8, 2025, with East West Bank (the "Line of Credit Facility") providing for borrowings of up to $12.5 million guaranteed by substantially all of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The facility includes provisions that allow for an increase in total borrowing capacity up to $15.0 million, subject to lender approval. As of December 31, 2025, $8.3 million was outstanding on the Line of Credit Facility.
25
The Company will continue to invest in content development and acquisitions, from which it believes it will obtain an appropriate return on its investment. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, short-term content advances were $7.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and long-term content advances, net of current portion, were $9.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use existing capital resources and/or undertake equity or debt offerings, if necessary and opportunistically available, for further capital needs. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Line of Credit Facility and ability to use our ATM as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to support our operations for at least twelve months from the filing of this report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management believes that these policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Streaming and digital revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $2.6 million, primarily due to strong digital release revenue of $2.8 million from Terrifier 3 in the prior period. This is partially offset by revenue growth of $1.5 million in our top channels. Programmatic revenue decreased by $1.2 million due to reduced advertiser demand.
Base distribution revenue decreased by $21.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the strong theatrical release revenue of $22.8 million from Terrifier 3 in the prior period. This is partially offset by theatrical release revenue of $1.2 million in the current period.
Podcast and other revenue decreased by $0.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to same period in 2024 due to lower podcast direct advertising.

The decrease of $16.7 million in Direct operating Expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by lower variable costs, including royalty expenses and platform fees. The reduction also reflects higher recoupements on our content advances resulting in lower provision for royalty advance allowance. These decreases were partially offset by increased theatrical distribution fees related to Toxic Avenger and licensor costs.

Interest Expense, Net
For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024, interest expense decreased by $3.0 million, primarily due to higher interest participation in the prior year related to the T3 Loan, which was obtained and repaid during prior fiscal year, lower borrowings under our line of credit, and lower interest rates. In addition, during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a $0.4 million discount on accrued interest provided by the T3 lender in exchange for the final payment made during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe Adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including our stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income (loss) from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating our performance and comparing our performance with that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and to evaluate our financial performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain incremental expenses or non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) from operations as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by loss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, and other changes in working capital. Specifically, the adjustments are primarily driven by net cash outflows related to content advances made to partners for which initial expenditures are generally recovered within six to twelve months and operating prepayments and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash used in investing activities is primarily related to expenditures towards long-lived intangible and fixed assets, along with strategic acquisitions.
Cash flows from financing were primarily attributable to proceeds under the Line of Credit Facility, net of payments, and proceeds from common stock warrant exercises.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by loss from operations, excluding non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, reserve for credit losses and stock-based compensation, including capitalized content spend and other changes in working capital.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements other than as discussed in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Note 3 - Other Interests to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we hold a 100% equity interest in CDF2 Holdings, which is an unconsolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which wholly owns Cinedigm Digital Funding 2, LLC; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
