As a condition to the closing of the Acquisition, we must effectuate the sale of our “Paltalk” and “Camfrog” applications and all assets and liabilities related to such applications in one or more transactions and cease the operations of our “Tinychat” application. - Entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Divestiture Agreement”) with Meteor Mobile Holdings, Inc.

Following the Divestiture, we will retain all patents, patent applications, and any rights or causes of action related to such patents and patent applications (including the patent litigation against Cisco). We are also entitled to receive, for the six-month period beginning July 1, 2025 and each subsequent annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, 2027 and 2028, certain cash earnout payments based on a percentage of cash revenue, net of any refunds, received by Meteor Mobile that is attributable to the business of the Transferred Assets.

Management Commentary
Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of Paltalk, commented, “Our team had a very busy and productive end to the summer, with the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire NTS from Newtek. We also recently announced our entry into a definitive agreement to complete the sale of Vumber and our Paltalk and Camfrog applications. We are in midst of a transformational shift in our business strategy that we believe will enhance stockholder value. Additionally, in our patent infringement litigation against Cisco, we were recently awarded a
Katz continued, “We expect that the Acquisition, once completed, will have an immediate and meaningful impact on our revenue, since NTS’s revenue in 2023 was approximately three times greater than Paltalk’s 2023 revenue. We look forward to moving towards the closing of the Divestiture and the Acquisition. We have an ample cash balance of
Patent Litigation Update – Awarded
On July 23, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Paltalk Holdings, Inc., filed a patent infringement lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) against WebEx Communications, Inc., Cisco WebEx LLC, and Cisco Systems, Inc. (collectively, “Cisco”), in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (the “Court”). We alleged that certain of Cisco’s products have infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and that we were entitled to damages.
On August 29, 2024, the jury awarded the Company
The exact amount of the Award proceeds to be received by the Company will be determined based on a number of factors and will reflect the deduction of significant litigation-related expenses, including legal fees. Consequently, the Company estimates that it would receive no more than one third of the gross proceeds in connection with the Award, subject to post-trial proceedings (including any potential appellate proceedings by Cisco).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics
The Company has provided in this release Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to Adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest income, net; other expense, net; income tax expense from continuing operations; our working capital requirements; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and the provision for income taxes. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net loss, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
