Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

Summary Financials	Q3 FY22		Q3 FY21		Change
Total Revenue	$	27.1	$	21.6	26	%
Music Publishing Revenue	$	18.4	$	17.8	4	%
Recorded Music Revenue	$	8.1	$	3.3	147	%
Operating Income	$	4.0	$	4.9	(19	)%
OIBDA	$	9.0	$	8.1	11	%
Net Income	$	2.4	$	2.4	0	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	10.2	$	8.1	26	%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended December 31st; Unaudited)

Total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 25.9% to $27.1 million, compared to $21.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an 147.5% increase in the Recorded Music segment as compared to the prior year, inclusive of the acquisitions of Tommy Boy Music, LLC ("Tommy Boy") in June of 2021 and various other catalogs.

Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.0 million, a decrease of 18.7%, compared to operating income of $4.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a rise of $1.3 million for share-based compensation and approximately $1.0 million in costs associated with being a public company. OIBDA increased 11.3% to $9.0 million, compared to $8.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.2 million, compared to $8.1 million last year. See below for calculations and reconciliations of OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net income, respectively.

Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $2.4 million, or $0.03 per share attributable to common stockholders, compared to a net income of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per share attributable to common stockholders, in the year-ago quarter. Net income in the quarter was driven by revenue growth in the Company's Recorded Music segment, which was offset by higher administration expenses, as well as higher amortization and interest expense. The decline in net income per share attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the prior year quarter was due to an increase in the shares outstanding on a diluted basis compared to the prior-year period.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Segment Review

Music Publishing	Q3 FY22		Q3 FY21		Change
Revenue by Type
Digital	$	8.5	$	11.7	(27	)%
Performance	$	4.0	$	3.8	6	%
Synchronization	$	2.4	$	1.4	79	%
Mechanical	$	0.7	$	0.5	46	%
Other	$	2.7	$	0.5	502	%
Total Revenue	$	18.4	$	17.8	4	%
Operating Income	$	0.9	$	3.9	(77	)%
OIBDA	$	4.5	$	6.5	(31	)%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended December 31st; Unaudited)

Music Publishing revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $18.4 million, an increase of 3.7% year-over-year. This growth was driven by strong performance within the Synchronization and Other revenue streams, which increased 78.8% and 501.5%, respectively. However, that growth was partially offset by a decline in Digital revenue which can be primarily attributed to a one-time settlement that was received in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of that one-time settlement, Music Publishing revenue grew by 22.3%.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Music Publishing OIBDA decreased 31.1% to $4.5 million, compared to $6.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Music Publishing OIBDA margin decreased from 36.4% to 24.2%, which was attributed to higher segment revenues, offset by higher cost of revenues and higher administration expenses associated with being a public company, all of which are included in the Music Publishing segment.

Recorded Music	Q3 FY22		Q3 FY21		Change
Revenue by Type
Digital	$	4.9	$	1.5	217	%
Physical	$	1.3	$	1.2	9	%
Neighboring Rights	$	0.7	$	0.5	57	%
Synchronization	$	1.2	$	0.1	1220	%
Total Revenue	$	8.1	$	3.3	147	%
Operating Income	$	2.7	$	0.9	204	%
OIBDA	$	4.2	$	1.5	172	%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended December 31^st; Unaudited)

Recorded Music revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 grew 147.4% to $8.1 million, compared to $3.3 million in last year's third quarter. This improvement was primarily driven by strong Digital revenue growth of 217.5%, as well as 1220.1% growth in Synchronization revenues largely due to the recovery in the film and television industry from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the acquisition of Tommy Boy.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Recorded Music OIBDA increased 171.6%, to $4.2 million, compared to $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Recorded Music OIBDA margin increased from 46.8% to 51.3%, which was driven by higher Recorded Music revenues, as well as mix shift towards Digital and Synchronization revenues which carry lower costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $14.4 million, a decrease of $2.9 million compared to the same period last year. The decreased cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to increases in cash used for working capital, including royalty advances (net of recoupments) and prepaid expenses, partially offset by higher earnings.

As of December 31, 2021, Reservoir had cash and cash equivalents of $14.6 million and $118.4 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $133.0 million. Total debt was $225.3 million (net of $6.4 million of deferred financing costs) and net debt was $210.6 million (defined as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs). This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $9.2 million and $32.9 million available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $42.1 million, total debt of $212.5 million (net of $3.1 million of deferred financing costs), and net debt of $203.3 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 2021 was 5.1x using the trailing twelve month pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $45.4 million which reflects the measurement per its credit agreement.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Reservoir raised its previously provided financial outlook range for fiscal year 2022, and now expects the financial results for the year ending March 31, 2022 to be as follows:

Outlook	Revised Guidance	Prior Guidance	Growth (at mid-point)
Revenue	$103 - $105	$100 - $104	27%
Adjusted EBITDA	$40 - $41	$37 - $40	19%
($ in millions)

Jim Heindlmeyer, Chief Financial Officer of Reservoir, concluded, "We continued to execute against our strategy which drove double-digit growth on both a top- and bottom-line basis in the third fiscal quarter. Our team utilized value enhancing opportunities for our creators while our portfolio of assets continues to grow through our acquisition strategy. We raised our fiscal year guidance to better reflect our strong organic financial performance and momentum with acquisitions over the past three quarters."

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial information, such as OIBDA, OIBDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt, that has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reservoir's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Reservoir's operations, measure its performance and make strategic decisions. Reservoir believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding Reservoir's results of operations and trends in the same manner as Reservoir's management and in evaluating Reservoir's financial measures as compared to the financial measures of other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Reservoir's management about which items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation to analyze Reservoir's business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of Reservoir's management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances. In addition, although other companies in Reservoir's industry may report measures titled OIBDA, OIBDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt, or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how Reservoir calculates such non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. You can find the reconciliation of these non‐GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the tables below.

OIBDA

Reservoir evaluates operating performance based on several factors, including its primary financial measure of operating income before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets ("OIBDA"). Reservoir considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of the operational strengths and performance of its businesses and believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it removes the significant impact of amortization from Reservoir's results of operations. However, a limitation of the use of OIBDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in Reservoir's businesses and other non-operating income.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to adjusting net income to exclude income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, further adjusts net income by excluding items or expenses such as, among others, (1) any non-cash charges (including any impairment charges), (2) any net gain or loss resulting from hedging currency exchange risks, (3) any net gain or loss resulting from interest rate swaps, (4) equity-based compensation expense and (5) certain unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by Reservoir's management to understand and evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. However, certain limitations on the use of Adjusted EBITDA include, among others, (1) it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenue for Reservoir's business, (2) it does not reflect the significant interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Reservoir's indebtedness and (3) it does not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA measure adds back certain non-cash, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income; however, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not the same as net income or cash flow provided by operating activities as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus the pro forma EBITDA of assets acquired in the previous four quarters representing the earnings of those assets for the portion of the prior four quarters before the Company's acquisition of such assets. This is the measurement defined in the Company's credit agreement. The Company believes that including the supplemental adjustments that are made to calculate Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the Company's ability to comply with its financial covenants as well as providing meaningful information about the historic earnings of acquired assets. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, depreciation and amortization expense (because the Company uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue), working capital needs, tax payments (because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, it is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate), non-recurring expenses and capital expenditures.

Net Debt

Reservoir defines Net Debt as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs.
