EX-99.1 2 tm2621844d1_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 RESERVOIR MEDIA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2027 RESULTS 12% Top-Line Growth Driven by 6% Publishing and 35% Recorded Music Growth August 4, 2026, New York — Reservoir Media, Inc.

How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The disclosure combines quarterly financial performance (revenue, operating income, OIBDA/Adjusted EBITDA, net loss) with specific growth initiatives (catalog acquisition, joint ventures, and publishing deals). This can affect near-term valuation expectations for independent music rights monetization and segment-level profitability.
Market read
Q1 FY27 shows accelerating Recorded Music growth and higher Adjusted EBITDA, alongside deal announcements that may support future revenue growth, but margin declines and cash flow timing add caution.
What to watch
Net loss narrowed but interest expense increased and FX loss persisted; traders may focus on cash flow timing (operating cash used) and debt level rather than top-line growth.
Background
This is an SEC Form 8-K with Exhibit 99.1 announcing Reservoir Media’s first quarter fiscal 2027 results ended June 30, 2026, plus segment performance and newly announced strategic partnerships.
Ticker impact
Reservoir reported Q1 FY27 results, including $41.5M revenue (+12% YoY) and Adjusted EBITDA of $15.7M (+13%), plus new Latin catalog/joint-venture deals.
Near-term bias modestly positive as traders price in accelerating Recorded Music growth and incremental catalog acquisitions, though margin commentary (OIBDA margin down) may temper upside.
Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA both increased year over year, and the company disclosed multiple acquisitions/joint ventures tied to Latin music and publishing. However, operating income was flat and OIBDA margins declined in both segments, which can limit multiple expansion.
Market effects
Reinforces demand for music catalog and publishing monetization via streaming, performance, and synchronization revenue, a read-through for independent music rights owners.
Latin music partnership and catalog acquisition emphasis may shift attention toward rights monetization in high-growth international markets.
T.I. publishing deal and Latin catalog/joint ventures highlight continued global catalog consolidation and cross-border rights development.
Counterpoint
Margin compression (OIBDA margin down in both segments) suggests growth may be partly offset by higher administration or cost of revenue, limiting earnings quality.
