• Mixed Q3 FY26 Financial Performance

  For the three months ended December 31, 2025, revenues increased by 8% to $45.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA grew by 11% to $19.2 million. However, net income attributable to Reservoir Media, Inc. decreased significantly by 58% to $2.2 million, and diluted EPS fell to $0.03 from $0.08 in the prior year, primarily due to higher interest expense and losses on fair value of swaps.

• Material Weakness in Internal Controls

  The company disclosed that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to an unremediated material weakness related to the third-party Recorded Music royalty system. Remediation efforts are ongoing.

• Increased Credit Facility and Debt

  In June 2025, the Senior Credit Facility was amended, increasing the revolving credit commitment from $450 million to $550 million and resetting the incremental borrowing capacity to $150 million. This provides additional liquidity but also contributes to increased debt balances, which rose to $452.3 million (net of financing costs) as of December 31, 2025.

• Significant Music Catalog Acquisitions

  During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the company completed music catalog acquisitions totaling $96.0 million, a substantial increase from $73.2 million in the prior year, driving the higher debt levels.

Reservoir Media's Q3 FY26 10-Q filing reveals a mixed financial picture. While the company achieved solid revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, net income and EPS saw a significant decline compared to the prior year, primarily due to increased interest expense and losses on fair value of swaps. A notable concern is the disclosure of an ongoing material weakness in internal controls related to its third-party Recorded Music royalty system, which could impact investor confidence despite management's assertion that financials are fairly stated. The amendment to the Senior Credit Facility, increasing borrowing capacity, provides enhanced liquidity but also reflects the company's reliance on debt for its music catalog acquisition strategy.
