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.

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 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.
