  • Dolphin Entertainment posted Q1 2026 revenue of USD 12.8 million, up 5.2% year over year.
  • Net loss widened to USD 2.7 million, or USD 0.22 per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 25% to about USD 467,000, a metric management highlighted as a better indicator of cash flow potential given non-cash amortization and minimal capital expenditures.
  • Operating loss widened to USD 2.1 million as operating expenses rose to USD 14.9 million, including USD 700,000 one-time non-recurring distribution guarantee plus about USD 200,000 of litigation-related legal and professional fees.
  • Management reiterated expectations for continued revenue growth, significant free cash flow generation, and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in 2026, citing catalysts including DealMaker partnership progress, a book publishing imprint venture with Copper Books and Simon & Schuster, bank debt maturing in less than 2.5 years that would free up nearly USD 2.2 million in annual payments, and roughly USD 1 million in annualized lease savings anticipated once major NYC and Los Angeles leases expire in second-half 2027.
