Looking ahead, Reservoir Media forecasts mid-single-digit revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth for fiscal 2025, signaling continued confidence in their growth strategy and market positioning.
The music industry is experiencing a dynamic shift with Reservoir Media's strategy reflecting a strong emphasis on diversification across genres and regions. The company has strategically acquired publishing and recorded rights from legendary and emerging artists, which can enhance its catalog value and create new revenue streams.
The acquisitions of catalogs from prominent artists like Joe Walsh, Rudy Perez and Big D Evans, as well as the signing of emerging talents like Armani White and Steph Jones, diversify their portfolio and reinforce their market presence. This broadens Reservoir's audience base and potential revenue avenues.
Reservoir's expansion into emerging markets with investments in artists from Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia is a noteworthy strategy. These markets are seeing increasing consumption of digital music, driven by younger populations and improved internet access. By tapping into these regions, Reservoir is positioning itself to capture growth from global trends in music consumption.
Additionally, the company's focus on utilizing AI and machine learning to enhance data understanding and improve marketing and licensing efficiencies is forward-thinking. This can optimize their revenue generation and operational efficiencies, aligning with industry trends towards data-driven decision-making.
Reservoir Media's commitment to investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to better understand data and usage trends demonstrates a strategic move towards leveraging technology for competitive advantage. By implementing AI/ML, Reservoir can enhance its ability to forecast trends, personalize experiences and optimize marketing and licensing strategies.
These technologies can help the company identify underutilized assets within its catalog, predict market demand for specific genres or artists and streamline its operations. This is particularly relevant in the music industry where understanding consumer behavior and preferences can significantly impact revenue streams.
Moreover, AI/ML can assist in detecting patterns and insights from large data sets, which traditional analysis methods might miss. This can lead to more effective royalty collection, better-targeted marketing campaigns and improved negotiations with digital platforms and advertisers.
In the long term, these investments in technology could result in substantial cost savings and increased revenue, contributing positively to the company’s bottom line.

We furthered our commitment to holding a diversified portfolio of assets, demonstrated by our publishing deals with rock legend Joe Walsh, Lebanese star and “Queen of Arab Pop” Nancy Ajram, and Latin music icon Rudy Perez. Concurrently, we signed deals with chart-topping songwriters, including Steph Jones whose co-write “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter went to #1 in the U.K. and #4 in the U.S., and Rob Ragosta whose cross-genre hit co-write “Need a Favor” by Jelly Roll became the first song ever to reach the Top 10 on both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The broad reach of our assets, combined with our value enhancement across platforms, allows us to continue building upon our success as a leading independent music company,” said Golnar Khosrowshahi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reservoir Media.
Khosrowshahi continued, “We are entering fiscal year 2025 with a strong financial foundation and a robust portfolio of assets, with a focus on driving organic growth and capitalizing on the changing landscape and projected growth of the music industry. We will continue to make investments in artificial intelligence and machine learning to support a deeper understanding of our data and usage trends to better capture additional revenue and improve marketing and licensing efficiencies across our organization. We will continue to partner with our roster of award-winning creators to bring their bodies of work to listeners around the world and look forward to playing an important role in the future of music.”

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
