Rescheduled Discussion of Financial Results for Quarter 1 in 2026 by Reservoir Media, Inc. (RSVR)
Reservoir Media Reports Q1 Fiscal 2026 Earnings: Steady Growth and Improving Profitability
Reservoir Media Inc. (RSVR) has released its Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings, showcasing a 8% year-over-year increase in total revenue to approximately $37.2 million. The growth was driven by a 4% rise in Music Publishing revenue, reaching about $24.9 million, and an 8% growth in Recorded Music revenue, amounting to around $10.4 million.
Despite the revenue growth, the company reported a net loss of approximately $0.6 million ($0.01 per share), widening slightly compared to previous periods, partly due to rising interest expenses. However, operational metrics improved significantly, with Operating income rising 10% to $5.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 10% to $13.9 million, reflecting improved profitability margins.
The revenue growth was supported by strategic investments, including the acquisition of Fool's Gold Records and extended publishing deals with high-profile artists such as Joni Mitchell.
Music Publishing revenue growth was partially fueled by a 48% increase in synchronization revenue and a 42% rise in other revenue sources, such as stage rights. On the other hand, Recorded Music revenue saw a 23% increase in digital revenue due to expanded streaming services and catalog acquisitions, but faced declines in synchronization revenue (-57%) and physical sales (-21%).
CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi emphasized a $1 billion acquisition pipeline and strategic focus on value-accretive acquisitions and immersive entertainment investments to drive future growth. Despite meeting some targets, the company’s earnings missed analyst expectations slightly, contributing to a modest stock decline post-earnings.
Financial guidance for FY2026 remains unchanged, with management maintaining a revenue outlook of $164 million to $169 million and Adjusted EBITDA between $68 million and $72 million, indicating confidence in continued growth supported by both organic expansion and acquisitions.
