NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Reservoir Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is an independent music company based in New York City, New York and with offices in Los Angeles, Nashville, Toronto, London, Abu Dhabi and Mumbai.
Following a business combination between Roth CH Acquisition II Co. (“ROCC”) and Reservoir Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RHI”), on July 28, 2021 (the “Business Combination”), the Company’s legal name became “Reservoir Media, Inc.” The common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and warrants are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbols “RSVR” and “RSVRW,” respectively.
The Company is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through Reservoir Media Management, Inc. (“RMM”), and RMM’s subsidiaries. The Company’s activities are organized into two reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. Operations of the Music Publishing segment involve the acquisition of interests in music catalogs from which royalties are earned as well as signing songwriters to exclusive agreements which give the Company an interest in the future delivery of songs. Operations of the Recorded Music segment involve the acquisition of sound recording catalogs as well as the discovery and development of recording artists and the marketing, distribution, sale and licensing of the music catalog.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2025, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 or any other period.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates are used for, but not limited to, determining useful lives of intangible assets, intangible asset recoverability and impairment and accrued revenue. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which will require disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures upon adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which expands income tax disclosures, including requiring enhanced disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods of public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for annual periods of entities other than public entities beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its disclosures upon adoption.
NOTE 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
For the Company’s operating and reportable segments, Music Publishing and Recorded Music, the Company accounts for a contract when it has legally enforceable rights and obligations and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company identifies the performance obligations and determines the transaction price associated with the contract. Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers, and in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those services or goods. Certain of the Company’s arrangements include licenses of intellectual property with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties. Royalty revenue is recognized when the subsequent sale or usage occurs using the best estimates available of the amounts that will be received by the Company. The Company recognized revenue of $1,697,811 and $4,211,373 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Credit Facilities
RMM is party to a credit agreement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “RMM Credit Agreement”) governing RMM’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). On June 3, 2025, RMM entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the RMM Credit Agreement, which amended the Senior Credit Facility to (i) increase the revolving credit commitment from $450,000,000 to $550,000,000, (ii) adjust the consolidated net senior debt to the value of the music library ratio from 30.0% to 37.5% for the 0.25% increase in the pricing grid, (iii) reset the incremental borrowing capacity under the facility’s accordion feature to $150,000,000 after the effectiveness of the Third Amendment, (iv) exclude non wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries from the requirement to guarantee obligations under the RMM Credit Agreement and (v) modify certain negative covenants under the RMM Credit Agreement as further set forth in the Third Amendment. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company incurred banking, legal and consulting fees of $1,140,259 that were recorded as deferred financing fees, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility.
The maturity date of the loans advanced under the Senior Credit Facility is December 16, 2027. The interest rate on borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility is equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the sum of a base rate plus a margin of 1.00% or (ii) the sum of a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“ SOFR”) rate plus a margin of 2.00%, in each case subject to a 0.25% increase based on a consolidated net senior debt to library value ratio. RMM is also required to pay an unused fee in respect of unused commitments under the Senior Credit Facility, if any, at a rate of 0.25% per annum. Substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, RHI, RMM and the other subsidiary guarantors are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of RMM under the RMM Credit Agreement.
9
The RMM Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company, RHI, RMM and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, make investments, make cash dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, must comply with financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period, and (ii) a consolidated senior debt to library value ratio of 0.45:1.00, subject to certain adjustments. If RMM does not comply with the covenants in the RMM Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.
As described above, the Senior Credit Facility also includes an “accordion feature” that permits RMM to seek additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $150,000,000. As of September 30, 2025, the Senior Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of $550,000,000, with remaining borrowing availability of $124,171,590.
Interest Rate Swaps
At September 30, 2025, RMM had the following interest rate swaps outstanding, under which it pays a fixed rate and receives a floating interest payment from the counterparty based on SOFR:

In September 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in the amount of $65,000,000, which is reflected in the table above. This swap has an effective date of September 4, 2025 and a maturity date of December 16, 2027, which corresponds to the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility. The Company will pay a fixed rate of 3.405% and receive a floating interest from the counterparty based on SOFR.
On September 30, 2024, three previous interest rate swaps expired with original notional amounts of $8,875,000, $88,098,862 and $53,030,237. Through the expiration date of these previous interest rate swaps, RMM paid fixed rates of 1.53%, 1.422% and 0.972%, respectively, to the counterparty and received a floating interest payment from the counterparty based on SOFR.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $947,313 and $(152,593), respectively. Income tax expense (benefit) for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $676,247 and $ (446,561), respectively. Income tax benefit during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 reflect excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. Additionally, during the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an incremental tax benefit of approximately $103,000 to its deferred tax liabilities related to certain international intangible assets. The income tax expense (benefit) during these periods also reflects the amount and mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”), was signed into law in the U.S, introducing a broad range of tax reform provisions, including changes to interest deductibility, bonus depreciation, and various international provisions with multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The impact of the OBBBA tax legislation did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, and is not expected to have a material impact in future periods.
NOTE 10. SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION

NOTE 11. WARRANTS
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s outstanding warrants included 5,750,000 publicly-traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”), which were issued during ROCC’s initial public offering on December 15, 2020, and 137,500 warrants sold in a private placement to ROCC’s sponsor (the “Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination and exchanged into warrants for shares of Common Stock. Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder.
The Warrants will expire on July 28, 2026, which is five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the registered holders.
NOTE 12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-based compensation expense totaled $1,113,885 ($867,195, net of taxes) and $1,053,711 ($819,235, net of taxes) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Share-based compensation expense totaled $2,247,437 ($1,749,702, net of taxes) and $2,327,385 ($1,809,487, net of taxes) during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is classified as “Administration expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to satisfy previous obligations to issue a variable number of equity awards based on a fixed monetary amount. Prior to the issuance of these RSUs, the Company classified these awards as liabilities. Upon issuance of the RSU’s the awards became equity-classified as they no longer met the criteria to be liability-classified and as a result liabilities of $1,075,407 and $802,500 were reclassified from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Because of their anti-dilutive effect, 5,887,500 shares of Common Stock equivalents, comprised of warrants have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Because of their anti-dilutive effect, 5,891,590 shares of Common Stock equivalents, comprised of 4,090 RSUs and 5,887,500 warrants have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Because of their anti-dilutive effect, 5,919,682 shares of Common Stock equivalents, comprised of 32,182 RSUs and 5,887,500 warrants have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Because of their anti-dilutive effect, 7,747,739 shares of Common Stock equivalents, comprised of 1,262,332 stock options, 597,907 RSUs and 5,887,500 warrants have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended September 30, 2024.
NOTE 14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to the following risks related to its financial instruments:
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company’s debtors may be unable to fulfill their financial obligations. Revenues earned from publishing and distribution companies are concentrated in the music and entertainment industry. The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk on a regular basis.
(b)
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its Senior Credit Facility. As described in Note 8, “Secured Line of Credit,” the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its Credit Facilities.
The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps consisted of an $856,181 asset and a $751,049 liability as of September 30, 2025 and a $1,828,303 asset and a $410,008 liability at March 31, 2025. Fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, which are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 of $315,998 and $1,313,163, respectively, was recorded as a loss on fair value of swaps. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 of $5,126,907 and $5,617,202, respectively, was driven primarily by the September 2024 decrease in SOFR, as well as the time value of the swaps that expired on September 30, 2024, and was recorded as a loss on fair value of swaps.
(c)
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in fluctuations of currency rates on its revenue from royalties, writers’ fees and its subsidiaries’ operations.
(d)
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments not described elsewhere include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Company’s secured line of credit. The carrying values of these instruments as of September 30, 2025 do not differ materially from their respective fair values due to the immediate or short-term duration of these items or their bearing market-related rates of interest.
NOTE 15. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Litigation
The Company is subject to claims and contingencies in the normal course of business. To the extent the Company cannot determine whether a loss is probable based on the uncertain outcome of the claims and contingencies or estimate the amount of any loss that may result, no provision for any contingent liabilities has been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that losses resulting from these matters, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. All such matters which the Company concludes are probable to result in a loss and for which management can reasonably estimate the amount of such loss have been accrued for within these condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s business is organized in three operating segments, one of which does not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, and two reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. The Company identified its Chief Executive Officer as its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM evaluates financial performance of its segments based on operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”). The CODM regularly reviews trends in OIBDA and compares OIBDA results to budgets to evaluate the profitability of the segments. During the annual budget process, the CODM also considers OIBDA to assist in the allocation of resources to the segments.
The accounting policies of the Company’s business segments are consistent with the Company’s policies for the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have sales between segments.
13
The following tables present total revenue and OIBDA by segment, significant segment expenses, which are expenses that are included in OIBDA, significant to the segment considering qualitative and quantitative factors and regularly provided or easily computed from information regularly provided to the CODM, and a reconciliation of OIBDA to income before income taxes for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Introduction
We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our business operations through Reservoir Media Management, Inc. (“RMM”) and RMM’s subsidiaries. RMM is one of the world’s leading independent music companies. We operate a music publishing business, a recorded music business, a management business and a rights management entity in the Middle East.
Business Overview
We are an independent music company operating in music publishing and recorded music. Both of our business areas are populated with hit songs dating back to the early 1900s and represent an array of artists across genre and geography. Consistent with how we classify and operate our business, our company is organized in two reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. A brief description of each segment’s operations is presented below.
Music Publishing Segment
Music Publishing is an intellectual property business focused on generating revenue from uses of the musical composition itself. In return for promoting, placing, marketing and administering the creative output of a songwriter or engaging in those activities for other rightsholders, our Music Publishing business garners a share of the revenues generated from use of the musical compositions.
The operations of our Music Publishing business are conducted principally through RMM, our global music publishing company headquartered in New York City, with operations in multiple countries through various subsidiaries, affiliates and non-affiliated licensees and sub-publishers. We own or control rights to a vast collection of musical compositions, including numerous pop hits, American standards and motion picture and theatrical compositions. Assembled over many years, our catalog represents a diverse range of genres, including pop, rock, jazz, classical, country, R&B, hip-hop, rap, reggae, Latin, folk, blues, symphonic, soul, Broadway, techno, alternative and gospel. In addition to the catalog, we represent many active songwriters who are consistently generating new music.
Music Publishing revenues are derived from five main sources:
The principal costs associated with our Music Publishing business are as follows:
Recorded Music Segment
Our Recorded Music business consists of three types of sound recording rights ownership. First is the active marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and licensing of newly created frontline sound recordings from current artists that we own and control (“Current Artist”). This is a new area of focus for us and does not yet produce significant revenue. The second is the active marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and license of previously recorded and subsequently acquired catalog recordings (the “Catalog”). The third is acquisition of full or partial interests in existing record labels, sound recording catalogs or income rights to a royalty stream associated with an established recording artist or producer contract in connection with existing sound recordings. Acquisition of these income participation interests are typically in connection with recordings that are owned, controlled, and marketed by other record labels.
Our recorded music business is operated by our label teams based in London and New York City, which release music from our labels Chrysalis Records, Tommy Boy Music, New State and Reservoir Recordings. We primarily manage Catalog recorded music, but we have a small roster of Current Artists for whom we release new music. We also own income participation interests in recordings by The Isley Brothers, The Commodores, Wisin and Yandel, Alabama and others. Our core Catalog includes recordings under the Chrysalis Records label by artists, such as Sinéad O’Connor, The Specials, Generation X, The Waterboys and De La Soul, recordings under the Tommy Boy label by artists, such as Coolio, House of Pain, Naughty By Nature and Queen Latifah, plus select catalog artists on Fool’s Gold Records, which we also distribute.
17
Our Current Artist and Catalog recorded music distribution is handled by a mix of direct deals such as with Amazon, Apple, TikTok, and YouTube, plus a network of distribution partners including MERLIN, AMPED, and Proper. Chrysalis Records’ current frontline releases are distributed through Secretly Distribution.
Through our distribution network, our music is being sold in physical retail outlets, as well as in physical form to online retailers, such as amazon.com, and distributed in digital form to an expanding universe of digital partners, including streaming services, such as Amazon, Apple, Deezer, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and YouTube, radio services, such as iHeart Radio and SiriusXM, and download services. We also license music digitally to fitness platforms, such as Apple Fitness+, Equinox, Hydrow and Peloton and social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snap.
Recorded Music revenues are derived from four main sources:
The principal costs associated with our Recorded Music business are as follows:
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). However, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist readers in understanding our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude or include amounts that are not reflected in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, we have provided the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, a reconciliation to GAAP measures and a discussion of the reasons why management believes this information is useful to it and may be useful to investors.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
We use certain financial information, such as OIBDA, OIBDA Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, which means they have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reservoir’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operations, measure the Company’s performance and make strategic decisions. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding our results of operations and trends in the same manner as our management and in evaluating our 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 our 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 our business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of our management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report measures titled OIBDA, OIBDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA, or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate 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. Reconciliations of OIBDA to operating income and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income are provided below.
We consider operating income before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets (“OIBDA”) to be an important indicator of the operational strengths and performance of our businesses and believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it removes the significant impact of amortization from our results of operations and represents our measure of segment income. 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 our businesses and other non-operating income. 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 is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), 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 is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude items or expenses such as, among others, (1) any non-cash charges (including any impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt and to write-down an equity investment to its 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 our management to understand and evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. However, certain limitations in 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 our business, (2) it does not reflect the significant interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our 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.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1,753 thousand, or 10%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in revenues, partially offset by an increase in administration expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3,026 thousand, or 10%, during the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in revenues, partially offset by an increase in administration expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, we had $421,813 thousand of debt (net of $4,015 thousand of deferred financing costs) and $27,939 thousand of cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our historical cash flows (in thousands).

(50,018)
(10,702)

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $25,305 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $21,872 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The primary drivers of the $3,433 thousand increase in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024 were an increase in cash provided by working capital and an increase in earnings. The increase in cash provided by working capital was due primarily to the timing of collections of accounts receivable and payments of accounts payable, partially offset by the timing of royalty payments to artists and royalty advance recoupments.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities was $50,018 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $10,702 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in acquisitions of music catalogs.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $31,491 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $(8,338) thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The change in cash provided by (used for) financing activities primarily reflects an increase in borrowings and a decrease in repayments of the secured line of credit.
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our subsidiaries’ operations, available cash and cash equivalents and funds available for drawing under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) (as described below). These sources of liquidity are needed to fund our debt service requirements, working capital requirements, strategic acquisitions and investments, capital expenditures and other investing and financing activities we may elect to make in the future.
We believe that our primary sources of liquidity will be sufficient to support our existing operations over the next twelve months.
Existing Debt as of September 30, 2025
As of September 30, 2025, our outstanding debt consisted of $425,828 thousand borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, remaining borrowing availability under the Senior Credit Facility was $124,172 thousand.
We use cash generated from operations to service outstanding debt, consisting primarily of interest payments through maturity, and we expect to continue to refinance and extend maturity on the Senior Credit Facility for the foreseeable future.
Debt Capital Structure
RMM is a borrower under a revolving credit agreement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “RMM Credit Agreement”) governing RMM’s Senior Credit Facility. On June 3, 2025, RMM entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the RMM Credit Agreement, which amended the Senior Credit Facility to (i) increase the revolving credit commitment from $450,000 thousand to $550,000 thousand, (ii) adjust the consolidated net senior debt to the value of the music library ratio for the 0.25% increase in the pricing grid from 30.0% to 37.5%, (iii) reset the incremental borrowing capacity under the facility’s accordion feature to $150,000 thousand after the effectiveness of the Third Amendment, (iv) exclude non wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries from the requirement to guarantee obligations under the RMM Credit Agreement and (v) modify certain negative covenants under the RMM Credit Agreement as further set forth in the Third Amendment.
The maturity date of the loans advanced under the Senior Credit Facility is December 16, 2027. The interest rate on borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility is equal to, at our option, either (i) the sum of a base rate plus a margin of 1.00% or (ii) the sum of a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus a margin of 2.00%, in each case subject to a 0.25% increase based on a consolidated net senior debt to library value ratio. RMM is also required to pay an unused fee in respect of unused commitments under the Senior Credit Facility, if any, at a rate of 0.25% per annum. The Senior Credit Facility also includes an “accordion feature” that permits RMM to seek additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $150,000 thousand.
Subject to market conditions, we expect to continue to take opportunistic steps to extend our maturity dates and reduce related interest expense. From time to time, we may incur additional indebtedness for, among other things, working capital, repurchasing, redeeming or tendering for existing indebtedness and acquisitions or other strategic transactions.
Certain terms of the Senior Credit Facility are described below.
Guarantees and Security
The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by us, RHI and certain subsidiaries of RMM. Substantially all of our, RHI’s, RMM’s and other subsidiary guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of RMM under the Senior Credit Facility, including accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodities accounts, inventory and certain intercompany debt owing to us or our subsidiaries.
Covenants, Representations and Warranties
The Senior Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facility limit the ability our, RHI’s, RMM’s and certain of its subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, make investments, make cash dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements.
Events of Default
The Senior Credit Facility includes customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest or other amounts, inaccuracy of representations or warranties in any material respect, violation of covenants, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, certain Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) events and certain material judgments, in each case, subject to customary thresholds, notice and grace period provisions.
Covenant Compliance
The Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants that requires us, on a consolidated basis with our subsidiaries, to maintain, (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period, and (ii) a consolidated senior debt to library value ratio of no greater than 0.45:1.00, subject to certain adjustments.
Non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated senior debt to library value ratio could result in the lenders, subject to customary cure rights, requiring the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with both of the financial covenants and all non - financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.
31
At September 30, 2025, RMM had the following interest rate swaps outstanding, under which it pays a fixed rate and receives a floating interest payment from the counterparty based on SOFR (in thousands):
Pay Fixed
50,000
65,000
In September 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in the amount of $65,000 thousand, which is reflected in the table above. This swap has an effective date of September 4, 2025 and a maturity date of December 16, 2027, which corresponds to the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility. The Company will pay a fixed rate of 3.405% and receive a floating interest from the counterparty based on SOFR.
Dividends
Our ability to pay dividends to Reservoir Media, Inc.’s shareholders is restricted by covenants in the Senior Credit Facility. We did not pay any dividends to Reservoir Media, Inc.’s shareholders during the six months ended September 30, 2025.
Summary
Management believes that funds generated from our operations, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and available cash and equivalents will be sufficient to fund our debt service requirements, working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to continue to fund these items and to reduce debt may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other industry-specific factors such as the ability to control music piracy and the continued transition from physical to digital formats in the recorded music and music publishing industries. It could also be affected by the severity and duration of natural or human-made disasters, including pandemics. We and our affiliates continue to evaluate opportunities to, from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity and other factors, seek to pay dividends or prepay outstanding debt or repurchase or retire our outstanding debt. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material and may be funded from available cash or from additional borrowings or equity raises. In addition, from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity, and other factors, we may seek to refinance the Senior Credit Facility with existing cash and/or with funds provided from additional borrowings.
Contractual and Other Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations since March 31, 2025. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual and Other Obligations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2025 for information regarding our contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
As of September 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since March 31, 2025. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2025 for information regarding our critical accounting policies. We believe that our accounting policies involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of our operations. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. We believe we have used reasonable estimates and assumptions in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.
32
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
As a result of the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, as described in Part II, “Item 9A, Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that during the period covered by this Quarterly Report our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025. Notwithstanding this material weakness, management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation Plan and Status of Material Weaknesses
As disclosed in our Annual Report, we successfully remediated three of four material weaknesses related to (i) segregation of duties, (ii) lack of qualified personnel for complex accounting transactions, and (iii) ineffective risk assessment processes as of March 31, 2025. However, the material weakness related to the improper design of control activities to address certain risks of material misstatement, specifically related to our third-party Recorded Music royalty system, remains unremediated as of September 30, 2025.
We continue to take steps to remediate the material weakness described in our Annual Report. This includes, but is not limited to, providing training to process and control owners, enhancing relevant policies, procedures, guidelines and documentation templates, implementing new controls, and improving documentation supporting existing controls over the third-party Recorded Music royalty system, and other relevant areas. The evaluation over whether these improved control activities have been designed and are operating effectively, is ongoing.
We will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. Our management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans in future periods and will make changes we determine to be appropriate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as disclosed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We may, from time to time, become involved in various legal and administrative proceedings, claims, lawsuits and/or other actions incidental to the conduct of our business. Some of these legal and administrative proceedings, claims, lawsuits and/or other actions may be material and involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief. We recognize provisions for claims or pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherently uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are not involved in any legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2025. The risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, could materially affect our business, financial condition or results.

There have been no other unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2025 which have not been previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
