In addition to historical consolidated financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and in the section "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", those discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and those discussed in any subsequent filing we made with the SEC. Business Overview Organization and Nature of Operations Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company,” “Bright Mountain” or “we”) is an end-to-end marketing services company that helps brands with the right audiences, at the right time, with the right message, both effectively and efficiently by removing the middlemen in the marketing workflow. Our end-to-end offerings combine consumer insights with creative services, media services, and advertising technology to deliver solutions to improve audience fidelity for brands. We focus on digital publishing, advertising technology, consumer insights, creative services, and media services. Digital Publishing Our digital publishing division focuses on developing content that attracts an audience and monetizes that audience through advertising. The current portfolio of owned and operated websites is focused on moms, parenting, families, and more broadly, women. The portfolio consists of popular websites including Mom.com, Cafemom.com, LittleThings.com, and MamasLatinas.com. This demographic is highly sought after by brands and their advertising agencies. We use internal and external technologies to constantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the content we create. Our publishing division monetizes its audiences through both direct and programmatic advertising sales. Advertising Technology Our advertising technology division focuses on delivering targeted ads to audiences on owned and operated sites as well as third-party publishers in a cost-effective manner through the deployment of proprietary technologies. By developing our own proprietary technology stack, we are able to pass along efficiencies to both the demand and supply side of the ecosystem. Our goal is to enable and support a streamlined, end-to-end advertising model that addresses both demand (buy side) and publisher supply (sell side) programmatic sales and delivery of digital advertisements using an array of audience targeting tools and advertising formats (display, audio, video, CTV, and in-app). Programmatic advertising relies on software programs that leverage data and proprietary algorithms to match the optimal selection of an ad with a bid price offered by advertisers. Consumer Insights Our consumer insights division focuses on providing primary and secondary research, competitive intelligence, and expert insight to address customers' strategic issues. We provide cutting-edge and dynamic research, offering clients a comprehensive perspective on their consumers. This insight extends to strategic guidance on the optimal timing and channels to effectively connect with target audiences. Our cutting-edge approach combines advanced data analytics and comprehensive market research, to uncover actionable insights that drive informed decision-making. Creative Services Our creative services division transforms data into award-winning campaigns. We are uniquely able to leverage insights teams with highly strategic media planning and buying teams to ensure brands not only position their advertising precisely, but also yield impactful business results. Our goal is to combine data-driven decisions with creativity fueled by a deep understanding of modern culture. 35 Table of Contents Media Services Our media services division focuses on advertisers and agencies by providing access to premium inventory, and leveraging data to optimize programmatic campaigns. Our aim is to empower clients to access the most sought-after advertising spaces across diverse platforms tailored to their specific needs and preferences. Our data-driven approach ensures that ad placements are not only well-targeted, but also continuously optimized for maximum efficiency and return on investment. Our commitment to combining premium inventory access with data-driven programmatic campaign optimization makes us an indispensable partner in the success of our clients' advertising and marketing endeavors. The Company generates revenue through: • the selling of advertisements placed on our owned and managed sites and on partner websites where we earn a share of the revenue; • fees for facilitating the seamless, real-time exchange of advertisements on a large scale, bridging networks of buyers (referred to as "DSPs") and networks of sellers (referred to as "SSPs"); • serving advertisers through providing access to premium resources and leveraging data to optimize programmatic campaigns, where revenue is derived from the planning and execution of creative and media marketing campaigns; • providing primary and secondary research, competitive intelligence, and expert insights to address customers' strategic issues, where revenue is primarily derived from providing a single integrated service for such research; and • provision of creative and media services to advertisers. Key Factors Affecting Our Performance Seasonal Fluctuations . Typically, advertising technology companies report a material portion of their revenues during the third and fourth calendar quarters as a result of back-to-school and holiday-related advertising spend. We continue to experience this trend in our advertising technology division. Because of seasonal fluctuations, there can be no assurance that the results of any quarter or full year will be indicative of results for future years or quarters. Limited Number of Customers . During the three months ended March 31, 2026, three customers represented 48.9% of revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, one customer represented 15.4% of revenue. The loss of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in future periods. Managing Industry Dynamics . We operate in the rapidly evolving digital advertising industry. Advances in programmatic advertising technologies, and the efficient and automated method of purchasing ads online, has enabled publishers to auction their ad inventory to more buyers simultaneously, in real time. As advertisers stay ahead of evolving trends in consumer engagement with digital media, an expansive opportunity for innovation emerges. Our commitment to understanding customer needs empowers us, and our continuous pursuit of innovation enables swift adaptation to industry shifts. This approach not only facilitates the development of cutting-edge solutions, but also does so in a cost-effective manner. As regulatory concerns accelerate the impact on existing industry standards, companies are actively seeking new methods to finely tailor their messages to target audiences. Tech companies will be limited in how they monetize personal information for advertising purposes. This trend is exemplified by two imminent developments: (1) the anticipated erosion of Google's third-party cookies, and (2) the data security measures integrated into Apple iPhones. Consequently, companies must explore innovative methods to better understand their target audiences and have the tools to effectively engage with them. 36 Table of Contents Key Operating and Financial Metrics We monitor the following key financial and operational metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

Results of Operations The following is our analysis of the results of operations for the periods indicated below. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $1.3 million as compared to a net loss of $3.2 million for the same period in 2025. The following is our analysis for the period: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (in thousands) Revenue $ 13,963 $ 14,190 $ (227 ) -2 % Cost of revenue 9,654 9,918 (264 ) -3 % Gross margin 4,309 4,272 37 1 % General and administrative expenses 2,566 4,524 (1,958 ) -43 % Income (loss) from operations 1,743 (252 ) 1,995 -792 % Financing and other expense, net (3,043 ) (2,979 ) (64 ) 2 % Net loss $ (1,300 ) $ (3,231 ) $ 1,931 -60 % Gross margin percentage 31 % 30 % 1 % Revenue Revenue decreased by $227,000, or 2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The Company focuses on digital publishing, advertising technology, consumer insights, creative services, and media services. Changes in revenue generated by each such division are set forth below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (in thousands) Digital publishing $ 281 $ 583 $ (302 ) -52 % Advertising technology 6,640 4,232 2,408 57 % Consumer insights 5,045 7,039 (1,994 ) -28 % Creative services 1,985 1,495 490 33 % Media services 12 841 (829 ) -99 % Total revenue $ 13,963 $ 14,190 $ (227 ) -2 % 38 Table of Contents Digital Publishing Digital publishing revenue decreased by $302,000, or 52%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $281,000, or 2%, of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was generated from our digital publishing customers, compared to $583,000, or 4%, for the same period in 2025. This reduction was primarily due to macroeconomic factors, which reduced traffic to our website, coupled with an overall reduction in spending by some customers related to inflationary concerns. Advertising Technology Advertising technology revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 57%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $6.6 million, or 48%, of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was generated from our advertising technology customers compared to $4.2 million, or 30%, for the same period in 2025. This growth was driven by our ability to leverage our resources to attract top advertisers, which in turn allowed us to onboard premium publishers. This led to an increase in volume, as well as rates and overall revenue. Consumer Insights Consumer insights revenue decreased by $2.0 million, or 28%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $5.0 million, or 36%, of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was generated from our consumer insights customers compared to $7.0 million, or 49%, for the same period in 2025. This decrease was driven by a decrease in contract value for certain larger tier revenue customers. Creative Services Creative services revenue increased by $490,000, or 33%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $2.0 million, or 14%, of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was generated from our creative services customers compared to $1.5 million, or 11% for the same period in 2025. This increase was driven by an increase in the number of projects for smaller tier revenue customers. Media Services Media services revenue decreased by $829,000, or 99%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $12,000, or 0.1%, of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was generated from our media services customers compared to $841,000, or 6%, for the same period in 2025. Cost of Revenue Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (in thousands) Direct salaries and labor costs $ 371 $ 1,813 $ (1,442 ) -80 % Direct project costs 1,197 3,634 (2,437 ) -67 % Non-direct project costs 2,428 999 1,429 143 % Publisher costs 4,887 3,025 1,862 62 % Content creation 142 179 (37 ) -21 % Sales commissions 344 259 85 33 % Other 285 9 276 3067 % Total cost of revenue $ 9,654 $ 9,918 $ (264 ) -3 % Cost of revenue decreased by $264,000, or 3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was due to the factors discussed below: Direct Salaries and Labor Cost Direct salaries and labor cost decreased by $1.4 million, or 80%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $371,000, or 4%, of the Company's cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a result of direct salaries and labor cost compared to $1.8 million or 18%, for the same period in 2025. This decrease was related to our continued efforts to decrease headcount. These costs represent salary and labor cost of employees who work directly on customer projects for our consumer insights, creative services, and media services divisions. 39 Table of Contents Direct Project Cost Direct project cost decreased by $2.4 million, or 67%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $1.2 million, or 12%, of the Company's cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a result of direct project cost compared to $3.6 million, or 37%, during the same period in 2025. This decrease was related to a decrease in customer contracts. These costs include payments made to third-parties that are directly attributable to the completion of projects that allow for revenue recognition for our consumer insights, creative services, and media services divisions. Non-Direct Project Cost Non-direct project cost increased by $1.4 million, or 143%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $2.4 million, or 25%, of the Company's cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a result of non-direct project cost compared to $1.0 million, or 10%, for the same period in 2025. This increase is consistent with the increase noted in revenue from our creative services division. These costs represent overall client service costs that are not specifically related to a particular project, but relate to services for our consumer insights, creative services, and media services divisions. Publisher Cost Publisher cost increased by $1.9 million, or 62%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Approximately $4.9 million, or 51%, of the Company's cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a result of publisher cost compared to $3.0 million, or 31%, for the same period in 2025. This increase is consistent with the increase noted in revenue from our advertising technology division. These costs represent payments to media providers and website publishers. Gross Margin Gross margin was $4.3 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Our gross margin remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the same period of 2025. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 30% for the same period of 2025 due to the slight decrease in cost of revenue. General and Administrative Expenses Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (in thousands) Personnel costs $ 1,655 $ 1,828 $ (173 ) -9 % Legal fees (1,117 ) 453 (1,570 ) -347 % Professional fees 828 764 64 8 % Insurance 135 131 4 3 % Depreciation 17 13 4 31 % Amortization 445 485 (40 ) -8 % Data processing 381 633 (252 ) -40 % Other 222 217 5 2 % Total general and administrative expense $ 2,566 $ 4,524 $ (1,958 ) -43 % Gross margin as a percentage of general and administrative expense 168 % 94 % General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.0 million, or 43%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was due to a combination of factors as discussed below: Personnel Cost Personnel cost decreased by $173,000, or 9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This change was mainly driven by a decrease in the Company's head count by a net change of 17 employees. The Company's employee headcount was 99 and 116 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 40 Table of Contents Legal Fees Legal fees decreased by $1.6 million, or 347%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was due largely to a $1.1 million gain related to a non-recurring settlement of ongoing litigation with Ladenburg. See Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements. Data Processing Data processing expenses decreased by $252,000, or 40%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was related to a reclassification of certain components of software costs from website expenses to cost of revenue. Financing Expense (Income) Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (in thousands) Interest expense $ 3,105 $ 3,026 $ 79 3 % Other expense (income) (62 ) (47 ) (15 ) 32 % Total financing and other expense, net $ 3,043 $ 2,979 $ 64 2 % Financing and other expense, net, increased by $64,000, or 2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements and for use within management's discussion and analysis based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company's financial performance, but non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. All of the items included in the reconciliation from net loss before taxes to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, etc.) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company's ongoing operating performance (e.g., M&A costs, income taxes, gain on sale of investments, loss on disposal of assets, etc.). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the Company's operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect the Company's ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business. We use, and we believe investors benefit from the presentation of, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the Company's performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. 41 Table of Contents A reconciliation of net loss before taxes to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 (in thousands) Net loss before income tax $ (1,300 ) $ (3,231 ) Depreciation expense 17 13 Amortization of intangibles 445 485 Amortization of debt discount 460 633 Other interest expense 4 6 Interest expense - Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility 2,641 2,387 EBITDA 2,267 293 Stock compensation expense 21 37 Non-recurring professional fees - 241 Non-recurring legal fees - 245 Non-recurring severance expense 68 - Adjusted EBITDA $ 2,356 $ 816 Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. The following table summarizes total current assets, total current liabilities, and net working capital (deficit) as of March 31, 2026, as compared to December 31, 2025: March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 (in thousands) Total current assets $ 18,899 $ 20,689 Total current liabilities 115,098 116,231 Net working capital (deficit) $ (96,199 ) $ (95,542 ) As of March 31, 2026, we had a cash balance of $594,000 and a restricted cash balance of $1.9 million, compared with a cash balance of $1.4 million and a restricted cash balance of $1.9 million as of December 31, 2025. Subsequent decreases in restricted cash associated with the settlement agreement entered into with Ladenburg are discussed further in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 20, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s liquidity needs, and a discussion of how it intends to meet those needs, is discussed below. See "Going Concern" below. Going Concern Historically, the Company has incurred losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of approximately $181.6 million as of March 31, 2026. Cash flows used in operating activities were $196,000 and $350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $96.2 million inclusive of $594,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $1.9 million in restricted cash. The Company's current cash and working capital, as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are not expected to be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations over the next twelve months. As a result, such matters create a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet its liquidity needs through a combination of factors. During the next year, we anticipate that we will need approximately $88.3 million to meet our contractual obligations in addition to amounts needed for our working capital needs. The Company is currently exploring several strategic alternatives, including restructuring or refinancing its debt, or seeking additional debt, including borrowing under the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility, or raising equity capital. The ability to access the capital markets depends, in part, upon the volume and market price of the Company's stock, which cannot be assured. Other measures include reducing or delaying certain business activities, and reducing general and administrative expenses, including a reduction in headcount. The ultimate success of these plans is not guaranteed. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 42 Table of Contents Financing Arrangement Summary Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility On June 5, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility between themselves, the lenders party thereto and Centre Lane Partners Master Credit Fund II, L.P., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (“Centre Lane Partners”), as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. 45 Table of Contents Significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, allowance for current expected credit losses, the determination of the relative selling prices of our services, percentage of completion for revenue recognition, estimates of amortization period for intangible assets, estimates of depreciation period for property and equipment, discount rates used in the valuation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, litigation reserves, the valuation of equity-based transactions, the valuation of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Facility to determine whether a debt modification or extinguishment has occurred, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are very important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and that require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or otherwise complex. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
