Insights
Cineverse's Q3 FY2025 results reveal a transformative quarter that validates their unique hybrid business model combining technology, content distribution, and multi-channel monetization. The headline 207% revenue growth to $40.7M and $7.2M net income underscore a remarkable turnaround from last year's $2.9M loss.
The company's success with Terrifier 3 demonstrates a revolutionary approach to film distribution. Achieving $54M in box office revenue on a mere $500,000 marketing budget represents an unprecedented 108x return on marketing investment - far exceeding industry averages where marketing costs typically equal or exceed box office returns. This efficiency stems from their integrated ecosystem of owned media channels, particularly valuable in targeting horror audiences.
The balance sheet transformation is equally impressive. With $13M cash, zero debt, and full access to a $7.5M credit facility, Cineverse has built a fortress balance sheet that provides significant operational flexibility and acquisition capacity. The $40M valuation of their 66,000-title content library versus its $2.6M book value indicates substantial hidden asset value and potential for future monetization.
Their technology platform, particularly the MatchpointTM system and AI initiatives, represents a significant competitive moat. The 47% increase in monthly viewership and expansion to 57 podcasts demonstrates successful audience aggregation across multiple channels. This multi-platform approach creates valuable cross-promotional opportunities and reduces customer acquisition costs.
The upcoming slate including Silent Night Deadly Night and The Toxic Avenger suggests a repeatable model for efficient content monetization. Their ability to attract major studio partnerships (Legendary Pictures) validates their distribution approach and opens additional revenue streams through marketing services for third-party content.
The 48% direct operating margin indicates strong operational leverage, while the 39% growth in podcast revenues shows successful diversification beyond traditional content distribution. The company's expansion into merchandise, live events, and AI-powered content solutions suggests multiple vectors for sustained growth.

The Company's financial results for Q3 FY 2025 reflected significant increases in revenue, direct operating margin, SG&A expenses and net income when compared to the prior quarter and the prior year quarter primarily driven by the results of Terrifier 3, but also reflected solid growth across all of the Company's key lines of business.
After debuting at number one in North American theaters on October 11, 2024, displacing Joker: Folie a Deux at the top of the box office charts, Cineverse's low budget horror phenomenon Terrifier 3 charged on to become the highest-grossing non-rated film ever (topping previous record-holder Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé), amassing more than
Based on our ability to achieve outstanding box office results with Terrifier 3 by utilizing our unique ecosystem of new media assets to spend a fraction of what other studios would have spent to promote and market the movie, we are now rounding out a slate of films that we believe can provide a strong and ongoing source of profits for the Company. We have already announced that we are releasing Silent Night Deadly Night, a re-interpretation of the classic controversial horror film, in the next fiscal year's third quarter and The Toxic Avenger, produced by major studio Legendary Films (Dune, Godzilla x Kong, etc.), which we are releasing on August 29, 2025. We also just announced that we will be releasing Wolf Creek: Legacy, the third installment of the classic Australian Outback horror/thriller film in 2026. In addition, based on the results of Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, other major studios are now utilizing our new media ecosystem to market their releases, emphasizing the impact our unique and innovative marketing approach has had on the industry.

Management Commentary
Chris McGurk, Cineverse Chairman and CEO, stated: "We had the strongest results this quarter versus the prior year quarter in the Company's history. Not only did we record
The shock and awe within the film industry at Terrifier 3's results, particularly how we were able to hyper-effectively utilize our new media assets, including our streaming channels, podcast network, advertising technology and social media strength to record the highest box office performing unrated film ever on an unheard of less than
Erick Opeka, Cineverse President and CSO, stated: "This quarter underscores how Cineverse is rewriting the rules for content distribution, audience engagement, and monetization. Our streaming audience surged
On the content side, we are scaling up our 'moneyball' strategy-targeting IP-driven films with a proven track record at the box office and in home entertainment, designed to deliver fun, throwback theatrical experiences that fans can enjoy together. Titles like Silent Night, Deadly Night and The Toxic Avenger fit squarely within this approach, standing to materially benefit from the fan-centric ecosystem we've built. IP owners are taking notice, as our model not only amplifies reach and engagement but also delivers better margins for producers than traditional studio distribution.
Our technology business is expanding rapidly, as we continue to strengthen our leadership in AI-powered content monetization and distribution. MatchpointTM secured multi-year software services deals with Multicom Entertainment Group and venture-backed JoySauce, underscoring its growing role in helping content owners scale. We also unveiled MatchpointTM Reel Visuals AI, enabling content owners to monetize AI-generated content rights, positioning us at the forefront of the evolving media landscape.
Beyond our core platforms, we are also seeing significant momentum across our podcast, live events, and merchandising businesses. The Cineverse Podcast Network has expanded with new series, including Creepy Places and RetroCrush, solidifying its position as a Top-10 podcast network, and achieving record audience growth under the BloodyFM sub-brand. Meanwhile, we are expanding revenue streams through experiential events, with our Focus Features partnership on Nosferatu with Thirteenth Floor Entertainment serving as a blueprint for future brand collaborations.
At the same time, we continue to deepen our FAST channel partnerships, having launched Bob Ross, Comedy Dynamics, Dog Whisperer, and Dove channels on Google TV™ Freeplay, further expanding our reach. And as of this quarter, Terrifier 3 will officially premiere on Screambox for an exclusive SVOD window, with active discussions underway for a Pay 1 licensing deal with major cable and streaming platforms.
Looking ahead, one thing is clear - Cineverse is not just another content distributor. We are a technology-powered entertainment company with a decade-long head start versus our competition. Our over 10-year investment in proprietary technology has created a significant and costly moat, making it increasingly difficult for others to replicate our model. With our deeply integrated ad tech, AI-driven content solutions, and audience-first distribution strategy, we are proving that a smarter, more efficient approach delivers better outcomes for audiences, advertisers, and content creators alike."

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as 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 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 consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Following is the reconciliation of our consolidated net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):
