Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 16, 2025, PodcastOne, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain preliminary financial results for its fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2025 and other Company updates. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company is in the process of finalizing its results for its fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2025. Such press release contains certain estimated preliminary unaudited financial results for the Company’s fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2025, which are based only on currently available information as of the date hereof. These results are preliminary and subject to change. The Company’s financial closing procedures for the fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2025 are not yet complete and, as a result, its final results upon completion of its closing procedures may vary from the estimated select preliminary unaudited results set forth in such press release. In addition, certain statements set forth in such press release are forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and the Company’s financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary estimated financial results that are presented in such press release and the actual financial results the Company will report. These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary unaudited results.
Additionally, the estimates reported in such press release include the presentation of EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. In addition to reporting the Company’s financial information using GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, provide investors with important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business performance. The Company does not intend for the non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define and calculate the measures differently than the Company does, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.
All of the estimated preliminary unaudited financial information set forth in such press release has been prepared by and is the responsibility of the Company’s management and has not been audited, reviewed or compiled by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (“MGO”). Accordingly, MGO does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
The information included herein and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information described under Item 2.02 above is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01.
