Q3 Fiscal 2025 Results Summary Discussion
For Q3 Fiscal 2025, LiveOne posted revenue
of $29.4 million, a 6% decrease, as compared to $31.2 million in the same period in the prior year. The Audio Division revenue was $27.1
million, a 1% decrease, as compared to revenue of $27.3 in Q3 Fiscal 2024.
Q3 Fiscal 2025 Operating Loss was ($5.1) million
compared to Operating Loss of ($0.8) million in Q3 Fiscal 2024. The $4.3 million increase in Operating Loss was largely a result of a
decrease in revenue from our Audio Division.
Q3 Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA* was $1.5 million,
as compared to Q3 Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA* of $3.3 million. Q3 Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA* was comprised of Audio Division Adjusted
EBITDA* of $3.6 million, Media Division Adjusted EBITDA* of ($0.5) million and Corporate Adjusted EBITDA* of ($1.5) million. Audio Division
Q3 Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA* of $3.6 million was driven by improved Contribution Margin* along with decreases in operating expenses.
Capital expenditures for Q3 Fiscal 2025 totaled
approximately $0.9 million, which were driven by capitalized software costs associated with development of LiveOne’s integrated
music player.
LiveOne updates its guidance for its fiscal
year ending March 31, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”) to consolidated revenue of $112 million - $120 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of
$6 million - $10 million, and its guidance for its Audio Division to consolidated revenue of $106 million - $115 million, and maintains
guidance for its Audio Division Adjusted EBITDA* of $12 million - $20 million.

business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The repurchase program will continue to be executed consistent

repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, all in compliance with the rules
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program does not obligate LiveOne

* About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements,
which are prepared and presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”),
we present Contribution Margin (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”),
which are non-GAAP financial measures, as measures of our performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended
to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, operating loss and or net income (loss) or any other performance
measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of our
cash flows or liquidity.
We use Contribution Margin (Loss) and Adjusted
EBITDA to evaluate the performance of our operating segments. We believe that information about these non-GAAP financial measures assists
investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect
operating income (loss) and net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and the other factors that affect reported
results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance
measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in our business. Accordingly,
Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other
measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, this measure may vary among other companies; thus, Adjusted
EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Contribution Margin (Loss) is defined as Revenue
less Cost of Sales. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, other (income) expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization and before (a) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and costs, (b) legal, accounting
and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, (c) employee severance payments and third party professional
fees directly attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities, (d) certain non-recurring expenses associated with legal
settlements or reserves for legal settlements in the period that pertain to historical matters that existed at acquired companies prior
to their purchase date and a one-time minimum guarantee to effectively terminate a live events distribution agreement post COVID-19, and
(e) certain stock-based compensation expense. Management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our core operating results.
With respect to projected full fiscal year
2025 Adjusted EBITDA, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity
and low visibility with respect to purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related charges and legal settlement reserves excluded
from Adjusted EBITDA. We expect that the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant,
impact on our future GAAP financial results.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial
measures, please see the tables entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP Measure” included at the end of this release.
