"Our second fiscal quarter financial results are a testament to the strength and consistency of our business model, and we have raised guidance for the year to reflect our momentum. We delivered double-digit top-line growth while also signing multiple high-profile creators to our talented roster and catalog across both our Recording and Publishing segments," said Golnar Khosrowshahi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reservoir. "The music industry continues to experience strong secular tailwinds, which should allow it to overcome any impacts from the macroeconomic downturn. We're seeing a vibrant resurgence in live performances, growing opportunities for synchronization, and an increase in subscribers to streaming content services. Our value enhancement initiatives, combined with our diversified portfolio of award-winning songwriters and artists, strategically positions Reservoir to continue to benefit from industry momentum, while we concurrently work to generate considerable long-term value for our roster and shareholders. Our strategy continues to support strong, consistent financial performance, and we expect to execute on accretive business development opportunities that will further bolster our roster, leverage our scale, and create value for our shareholders."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

Summary Financials	Q2 FY23		Q2 FY22		Change
Total Revenue	$33.3		$30.3		10%
Music Publishing Revenue	$24.1		$22.1		9%
Recorded Music Revenue	$8.9		$8.0		11%
Operating Income	$6.6		$7.8		(15)%
OIBDA	$12.0		$12.5		(5)%
Net Income	$4.5		$4.4		3%
Adjusted EBITDA	$12.8		$12.7		1%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended September 30th; Unaudited; NM = Not meaningful)

Total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 10% to $33.3 million, compared to $30.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily driven by strong growth in both segments, highlighted by 11% growth in the Recorded Music segment, inclusive of the acquisitions of various catalogs.

Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $6.6 million compared to operating income of $7.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. OIBDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 5% to $12.0 million, compared to $12.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decreases in operating income and OIBDA were primarily driven by higher administrative expenses compared to the year ago period. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was up 1% to $12.8 million, as strong revenue growth from both segments was partially offset by higher administration expenses, excluding non-cash expenses like stock-based compensation. See below for calculations and reconciliations of OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net income, respectively.

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.5 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $4.4 million, or $0.08 per share, in the year-ago quarter. The slight increase in net income was driven by higher revenue and gains on the fair value of swaps offset by higher cost of revenue, higher advertising and administrative expenses, as well as higher amortization, interest expense, and income tax expenses.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Segment Review

Music Publishing	Q2 FY23		Q2 FY22		Change
Revenue by Type
Digital	$13.2		$11.6		15%
Performance	$4.4		$4.3		1%
Synchronization	$4.4		$4.1		6%
Mechanical	$1.0		$1.0		4%
Other	$1.0		$1.1		(6)%
Total Revenue	$24.1		$22.1		9%
Operating Income	$3.1		$5.4		(43)%
OIBDA	$7.1		$8.7		(18)%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended September 30th; Unaudited; NM = Not meaningful)

Music Publishing revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $24.1 million, an increase of 9% compared to $22.1 million in last fiscal year's second quarter. Growth was driven by strong performance in Digital and Synchronization revenues.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, Music Publishing OIBDA decreased 18% to $7.1 million, compared to $8.7 million in the year ago period. Music Publishing OIBDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 39% to 29%. The decline in Music Publishing OIBDA margin was primarily driven by higher administration expenses including non-cash expenses.

Recorded Music	Q2 FY23		Q2 FY22		Change
Revenue by Type
Digital	$6.3		$4.7		35%
Physical	$0.9		$2.5		(66%)
Neighboring Rights	$0.7		$0.5		60%
Synchronization	$1.0		$0.3		224%
Total Revenue	$8.9		$8.0		11%
Operating Income	$3.5		$2.4		46%
OIBDA	$4.8		$3.8		27%
(Table Notes: $ in millions; Quarters ended September 30th; Unaudited; NM = Not meaningful)

Recorded Music revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $8.9 million, an increase of 11% compared to $8.0 million in last year's second quarter. This improvement was largely driven by assets under the Tommy Boy label, and strong Digital and Synchronization revenue growth, but was partially offset by lower Physical revenue.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, Recorded Music OIBDA increased 27%, to $4.8 million, compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Recorded Music OIBDA margin in the second quarter increased from 48% to 54%. The increase in Recorded Music OIBDA margin was driven by a shift towards Digital and Synchronization revenues which carry lower costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the six months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $11.6 million, an increase of $10.2 million compared to the same period last fiscal year. The increased cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to decreases in cash used for working capital, including royalty advances (net of recoupments) and higher earnings.

As of September 30, 2022, Reservoir had cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million and $67.4 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $86.2 million. Total debt was $278.0 million (net of $4.6 million of deferred financing costs) and Net Debt was $259.2 million (defined as total debt, less cash and equivalents and deferred financing costs). This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million and $74.4 million available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility, for total available liquidity of $92.2 million, total debt of $269.9 million (net of $5.8 million of deferred financing costs), and Net Debt of $252.0 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company's leverage ratio at September 30, 2022 was 5.7x using the trailing twelve month pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $47.3 million which reflects the measurement per its credit agreement.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook

Reservoir raised its financial outlook range for fiscal year 2023, and expects the financial results for the year ending March 31, 2023, to be as follows:

Outlook	Guidance	Growth (at mid-point)
Revenue	$118 million - $122 million	11%
Adjusted EBITDA	$45 million - $47 million	11%

Jim Heindlmeyer, Chief Financial Officer of Reservoir, commented "We are pleased with the financial performance and execution against our strategic initiatives in the second fiscal quarter. As a result of our strong execution and expected growth going forward, we are raising both revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full fiscal year. We will also continue to execute against our capital deployment target of $100 million toward strategic M&A for the year and will remain disciplined as we evaluate future accretive business development opportunities."

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial information, such as OIBDA, OIBDA margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt, which 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 (loss). Accordingly, OIBDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income attributable to us and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definition of OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. OIBDA Margin is defined as OIBDA as a percentage of revenue.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before net interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets and is used by management to measure operating performance of the business. 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 on foreign exchange, (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.
