PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We have prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). While certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 were derived from our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.
Use of Estimates and Reclassifications
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.
We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The following recently issued accounting pronouncements are being evaluated but have not yet been adopted.
In October 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-06.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASC Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional

information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC Topic 280 on an interim and annual basis.

2. Revenue Recognition
Revenues consist primarily of subscription fees paid by our members. We present revenues net of the taxes that are collected from members and remitted to governmental authorities. Members are billed in advance and revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term. Deferred revenues consist of subscription fees collected from members that have not been earned and are recognized ratably over the remaining term of the subscription. We recognize revenue on a net basis for relationships where our third-party platform partners (“Partners”) have the primary relationship, including billing and service delivery, with the member. We recognize revenue on a gross basis for members whose primary relationship is with Gaia. Payments made to Partners to assist in promoting our service on their platforms are expensed to marketing expenses in the period incurred. We do not allow access to our service to be provided as part of a bundle by any of our Partners.

6. Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period (“common stock equivalents”). Common stock equivalents consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method.
The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding computation is:

7. Income Taxes
Periodically, we perform assessments of the realization of our net deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. Based on our historical operating losses, combined with our plans to continue to invest in our revenue growth and content library, we have a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, our net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis were $
8. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at March 31, 2025, and that can be reasonably estimated, are either reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is subject to tax examinations for non-income taxes in foreign jurisdictions where it provides services to consumers residing in foreign jurisdictions. A number of these examinations are ongoing and, in certain cases, have resulted in assessments from foreign tax authorities. An accrual for non-income tax liability is recognized for foreign jurisdictions when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the non-income tax exposure can be reasonably estimated. For other foreign jurisdictions requiring non-income
11
taxes, the Company has determined that the non-income tax exposure is reasonably possible. However, considering the Company is in early stages of the examination and the Company’s prior experience with foreign tax authorities, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of non-income tax exposure that may be incurred.

Three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to three months ended March 31, 2024
Revenues, net. Revenues increased $2.5 million, or 12%, to $23.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $21.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily driven by an increase in member count as well as improvements in Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) due to the increase in prices.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues decreased $0.2 million or 6.5% to $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which primarily relates to the increase in revenues and revenue mix, offset by a one-time adjustment in royalty expense. Gross profit margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 87.7% from 85.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to improvements in ARPU and the one-time adjustment in royalty expense.
15
Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 14.9%, to $20.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven primarily by an increase in marketing expense. As a percentage of net revenues, selling and operating expenses increased to 84.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 81.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses increased $0.3 million, or 18.8% to $1.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses increased to 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Seasonality
Our member base reflects seasonal variations driven primarily by periods when consumers typically spend more time indoors and, as a result, tend to increase their viewing, similar to those of traditional TV and cable networks. We have generally experienced the greatest member growth in the fourth and first quarters (October through February), and slowest during May through August. This drives quarterly variations in our spending on member acquisition efforts and the number of net new subscribers we add each quarter but does not result in a corresponding seasonality in net revenue. As we continue to expand internationally, we expect regional seasonality trends to demonstrate more predictable seasonal patterns as our service offering in each market becomes more established and we have a longer history to assess such patterns.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital needs arise from working capital required to fund operations, capital expenditures related to acquisition and development of media content, development and marketing of our digital platforms, acquisitions of new businesses and other investments, replacements, expansions and improvements to our infrastructure, and future growth. These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our offerings, our ability to expand our customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to our offerings, our expenditures for marketing, and other factors. Additionally, we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our media libraries, evaluate possible investments in businesses and technologies, and increase our marketing programs as needed.
Our budgeted content and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025 are expected to be between $11.0 million to $13.0 million which we intend to fund with cash flows generated from operations. These planned expenditures will be predominately utilized to expand our content library and build out the capabilities of our digital platforms. The planned expenditures are discretionary and, with our in-house production capabilities, we have the ability to scale expenditures based on the available cash flows from operations. We began to generate positive cash flows from operations in 2020 and have continued to generate cash flows from operations since. We expect to continue generating positive cash flows from operations during the remainder of 2025. We generated approximately $1.3 million in cash flows from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, our cash balance was $13.1 million.
As described in Note 4, during August 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement with KeyBank, which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million. Funds from the Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permitted acquisitions or other investments. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
As described in Note 10, in April 2024, the Company entered into a series of transactions with its subsidiary, Igniton, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Igniton”), and a third-party entity to purchase a perpetual license for a total of $16.2 million of consideration comprised of $10.2 million of cash and $5.0 million of common stock of Igniton and $1.0 million of the Company’s equity security investment in Telomeron (the “License Purchase”). The license allows the Company to utilize the technology developed by the third party. This license is being recorded within the Technology license, net line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The License Purchase was primarily funded through an equity financing through Igniton, which raised $6.8 million of cash and $5.0 million in Igniton stock issuance from third-party investors.
In the normal course of our business, we investigate, evaluate and discuss acquisition, joint venture, minority investment, strategic relationship and other business combination opportunities in our market. For any future investment, acquisition, or joint venture opportunities, we may consider using then-available liquidity, issuing equity securities or incurring indebtedness.
While there can be no assurances, we believe our cash on hand, our cash expected to be generated from operations, our potential additional borrowing capabilities now that we have a history of generating positive operating cash flows, and our potential capital raising capabilities will be sufficient to fund our operations on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, our projected cash needs may change as a result of acquisitions, product development, unforeseen operational difficulties, or other factors.
16
Class A Common Stock Offering
In February 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (the “Underwriters”) relating to the offer and sale of 1,600,000 shares of our Class A common stock ($0.0001 par value) (the “Shares”). We sold the Shares to the Underwriters at the public offering price of $5.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $7.0 million. The offering was made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3. We provided a 45-day option to the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 240,000 Shares at $5.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On March 7, 2025, the Underwriters elected to waive the right to exercise the Over-Allotment Option.

Operating activities. Cash flows provided by operations decreased approximately $4.6 million during the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by changes in earnings, timing of working capital, and other liabilities, which consisted of $4.0 million in equity financing that was used to fund the Igniton License Purchase in April 2024.
Investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities was relatively flat during the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to consistent spend on property and equipment.
Financing activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities increased $7.0 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
