(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended December 31st; Unaudited; NM = Not meaningful)

Total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 16% to $29.9 million, compared to $25.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a 14% improvement in the Music Publishing segment, inclusive of the acquisitions of various catalogs and Other revenue which increased 260% to $2.2 million, driven by strong performance in the artist management business.

Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.6 million compared to operating income of $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. OIBDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 33% to $10.1 million, compared to $7.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increases in operating income and OIBDA were primarily driven by strong revenue growth offset partially by higher administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was up 24% to $10.9 million, as revenue growth from the Publishing segment was partially offset by higher administration expenses. See below for calculations and reconciliations of OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net income, respectively.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.1 million, or ($0.07) per share, compared to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a onetime loss on early extinguishment of debt, losses on the fair value of swaps, higher, interest expense, and a onetime tax expense related to a change in tax rate in the U.K., all of which was partially offset by higher operating income.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Segment Review

Music Publishing	Q3 FY23			Q3 FY22			Change
Revenue by Type
Digital	$	10.7		$	8.3		29	%
Performance	$	4.4		$	3.5		28	%
Synchronization	$	3.7		$	2.4		51	%
Mechanical	$	0.6		$	0.7		(21	%)
Other	$	0.8		$	2.7		(72	%)
Total Revenue	$	20.2		$	17.7		14	%
Operating Income	$	1.7		$	1.1		50	%
OIBDA	$	5.8		$	4.6		26	%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended December 31st; Unaudited)

Music Publishing revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $20.2 million, an increase of 14% compared to $17.7 million in last fiscal year’s third quarter. Growth was driven by strong results in Digital, Performance, and Synchronization, which increased 29%, 28%, and 51%, respectively. The growth in the segment was partially offset by a decline in Mechanical and Other revenue.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, Music Publishing OIBDA increased 26% to $5.8 million, compared to $4.6 million in the year ago period. Music Publishing OIBDA margin in the third quarter increased from 26% to 29%. The increase in Music Publishing OIBDA margin reflects the operating leverage in the segment resulting from higher revenue that was partially offset by increased administrative expenses.

Recorded Music	Q3 FY23			Q3 FY22			Change
Revenue by Type
Digital	$	5.3		$	4.5		17	%
Physical	$	1.1		$	1.3		(12	%)
Neighboring Rights	$	0.8		$	0.6		43	%
Synchronization	$	0.4		$	1.2		(67	%)
Total Revenue	$	7.6		$	7.5		1	%
Operating Income	$	2.3		$	1.3		81	%
OIBDA	$	3.6		$	2.7		36	%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended December 31st; Unaudited)

Recorded Music revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $7.6 million, an increase of 1% compared to $7.5 million in last year’s third quarter. This improvement was largely driven by strong Digital and Neighboring Rights revenue, which increased 17% and 43%, respectively. Growth in the Recorded Music segment was partially offset by declines in Physical and Synchronization revenue.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, Recorded Music OIBDA increased 36%, to $3.6 million, compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Recorded Music OIBDA margin in the third quarter increased from 36% to 48%. The increase in Recorded Music OIBDA margin was driven by a shift towards Digital and Neighboring Rights revenues which carry lower costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $26.2 million, an increase of $13.4 million compared to the same period last fiscal year. The increased cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to decreases in cash used for working capital, including royalty advances (net of recoupments), and an increase in earnings, net of non-cash expenses.

As of December 31, 2022, Reservoir had cash and cash equivalents of $17.0 million, and $151.2 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $168.2 million. Total debt was $292.2 million (net of $6.7 million of deferred financing costs) and Net Debt was $275.2 million (defined as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs). This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million and $74.4 million available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $92.2 million, total debt of $269.9 million (net of $5.8 million of deferred financing costs), and Net Debt of $252.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook

Reservoir raised the midpoint of its financial outlook range for fiscal year 2023, and expects the financial results for the year ending March 31, 2023, to be as follows:

Outlook	Guidance	Growth (at mid-point)
Revenue	$120 million - $122 million	12%
Adjusted EBITDA	$46 million - $47 million	13%

Jim Heindlmeyer, Chief Financial Officer of Reservoir, commented “We achieved strong top-line performance and continued to execute at a high level against our strategic growth plan. The inherent operating leverage created by our business model continues to materialize as OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins improved during the quarter. Given the momentum in our business, we are raising the midpoint of guidance for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year. Our business is resilient, and we are confident in our ability to execute against these improved expectations.”

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), (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.
