Cineverse Corp.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Cineverse Corp. (“Cineverse”, “us”, “our”, "we", and “Company” refers to Cineverse Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000.
The Company has a long legacy in using technology to transform the entertainment industry and played a pioneering role in transitioning movie screens from traditional analog film prints to digital distribution. Over the past several years, Cineverse has transformed itself from being a digital cinema equipment and physical content distributor to a leading independent streaming company.
Cineverse is a streaming technology and entertainment company with its core business operating as (i) a portfolio of owned and operated streaming channels with enthusiast fan bases; (ii) a large-scale global aggregator and full-service distributor of feature films and television programs; and (iii) a proprietary technology software-as-a-service platform for over-the-top (“OTT”) app development and content distribution through subscription video on demand ("SVOD"), dedicated ad-supported video on demand ("AVOD"), ad-supported streaming linear ("FAST") channels, social video streaming services, and audio podcasts. Our streaming channels reach audiences in several distinct ways: direct-to-consumer, through these major application platforms, and through third-party distributors of content on platforms.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cineverse Corp. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2025. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company following the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain columns and rows may not foot due to the use of rounded numbers.
The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
We own an 85 % interest in CON TV, LLC ("CONtv"), a worldwide digital network that creates original content, and sells and distributes on-demand digital content on the internet and other consumer digital distribution platforms, such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, handsets, and tablets. We evaluated the investment under the voting interest entity model and determined that the entity should be consolidated as we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of outstanding voting shares, and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, content advances, returns and recovery reserves, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and amortization of intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates these judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.
Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 .
Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be “cash equivalents.” We maintain bank accounts with major banks, which from time to time may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limits. We periodically assess the financial condition of the institutions and believe that the risk of any loss is minimal.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Computer equipment and software
3 – 5 years
Internal use software
3 – 5 years
Machinery and equipment
3 – 10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 – 7 years
We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is determined that the software will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and modifications. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net and include external direct cost of services procured in developing or obtaining internal-use software and personnel and related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized over the useful life of the software. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We amortize internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.
Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested annually for impairment or sooner if a triggering event occurs.
Amortization lives of intangible assets are as follows:
Content library
3 – 20 years
Tradenames, trademarks and patents
2 – 15 years
Customer relationships
5 – 13 years
Advertiser relationships and channel
2 – 13 years
Software
10 years

Capitalized Content
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of content from which it expects to generate a return over the anticipated useful life and the Company’s predominant monetization strategy informs the method of amortizing these deferred costs. The determination of the predominant monetization strategy is made at commencement of the production or license period and the classification of the monetization strategy as individual or group only changes if there is a significant change to the title’s monetization strategy relative to its initial assessment. The costs are capitalized to the Capitalized Content costs within Intangible Assets and are amortized as a group within Depreciation and Amortization within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment of Long-lived and Finite-lived Intangible Assets
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or conditions occur that indicate a possible impairment exists. The assessment for recoverability is based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived and finite-lived assets from expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If the total of expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the asset, the asset is deemed not to be recoverable and possibly impaired. We then estimate the fair value of the asset to determine whether an impairment loss should
11
Cineverse Corp.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
be recognized. An impairment loss will be recognized if the asset’s fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined by computing the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 .
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if warranted by events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed fair value, also known as impairment indicators.
Inherent in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and assumptions about our strategic plans with regard to its operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change, or our strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding whether our remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future goodwill impairment charges that will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The Company has the option to assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or to perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company annually assesses goodwill for potential impairment during its fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if events occur or circumstances indicate it would be more likely than not that fair value would be reduced below its carrying amount. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 .
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
There were no assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2025 .
Content Advances
Content advances represent amounts prepaid to studios or content producers for which we provide content distribution services. We evaluate advances regularly for recoverability and record a provision for amounts that we expect may not be recoverable. Amounts which are expected to be recovered in more than 12 months are classified as long term and presented within content advances, net of current portion, which were $ 9.2 million and $ 4.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a reduction in our reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $ 50 thousand and $ 293 thousand , respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, t he Company recognized a reduction in its reserve for the recovery of advances in the amount of $ 67 thousand and $ 37 thousand, respectively.

Deferred Consideration
The Company has recognized a liability related to a deferred consideration arrangement related to the acquisitions of FoundationTV ("FTV") and Digital Media Rights ("DMR"). These payments are fixed in nature and are due to the seller of the respective company. The Company initially recognized the liability at fair value at the time of acquisition and has since recognized interest expense related to accretion in advance of the ultimate settlement.
The deferred consideration related to the acquisition of DMR was payable in either shares of Common Stock or cash, at the Company's discretion and subject to certain conditions. The final deferred consideration payment of $ 2.4 million was made on April 1, 2025 through the issuance of 677 thousand shares of Common Stock.
The final deferred consideration paym ent of $ 559 thousand related to the FTV acquisition was paid in cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 .
Revenue Recognition
Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and typically provide net 30-to-90 day terms. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to our customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less.

The Company's Streaming and digital revenue pertains to its OTT business, including the licensing, service, advertising, and subscription revenue related to the Company's streaming business and partnerships. Base distribution revenue relates to non-streaming revenue, including Theatrical revenue, license fees and the sale of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Podcast and other revenue primarily relate to the Company's Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. As the Company satisfies its performance obligations from these revenue sources, whether relating to the delivery of digital content, physical goods, or licensing, revenue is generally measured at a point in time.
The Company follows the five-step model established by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC 606") when preparing its assessment of revenue recognition.

Principal Agent Considerations
Revenue earned from the delivery of digital content and physical goods may be recognized gross or net depending on the terms of the arrangement. We determine whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis based on each revenue stream. Key indicators that we use in evaluating gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, the following:
• which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; and
• which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move physical goods (e.g., DVDs and Blu-ray Discs) to customers. We recognize all shipping and handling costs as an expense in direct operating expenses because we are responsible for delivery of the product to our customers prior to transfer of control to the customer.
Credit Losses
We maintain reserves for expected credit losses on accounts receivable primarily on a specific identification basis. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
We recognize accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance for product returns and customer chargebacks, at the time that we recognize revenue from a sale. Reserves for product returns and other allowances are variable consideration as part of the transaction price. If actual future returns and allowances differ from past experience, adjustments to our allowances may be required.

Contract Liabilities
We generally record a receivable related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment, and we record deferred revenue (contract liability) when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, such as the sale of DVDs with future release dates, even if amounts are refundable. Amounts recorded as contract liabilities are generally not long-term in nature.
The ending deferred revenue balance, including current and non-current balances as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, was $ 8 thousand and $ 183 thousand , respectively. In each period, the additions to our deferred revenue balance are due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, while the reductions are due to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.

Participations and Royalties Payable
When we use third-parties to distribute Company-owned content, we record participations payable, which represent amounts owed to the distributor under revenue-sharing arrangements. When we provide content distribution services, we record accounts payable and accrued expenses to studios or content producers for royalties owed under licensing arrangements. We identify and record as a reduction to the liability any expenses that are to be reimbursed to us by such studios or content producers.
Concentrations
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 , a single customer represented 23 % and 26 % of revenues, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 , a single customer represented 56 % and 37 % of revenues, respectively.
Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, fulfillment expenses, shipping costs, property taxes and insurance on systems, royalty expenses, reserves against advances and marketing and direct personnel costs.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company issues stock-based awards to employees and non-employees, generally in the form of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss based on their fair values. The Company measures the compensation expense of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair values of options and SARs are calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the trading price of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data and judgment regarding future trends and factors. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
Valuation allowances are established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will ultimately be realized. The Company is primarily subject to income taxes in the United States and India.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued but not yet effective by FASB for consideration of their applicability. ASU's not included in the Company's disclosures were assessed and determined to be not applicable and material to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, " Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. (Topic 740) " On an annual basis, this update requires the disclosure of specific tax categories in the rate reconciliation and provides additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The Company is adopting this update for our fiscal year end disclosure.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220)" , requiring all public business entities to provide additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (Topic 326)" aiming to simplify the estimation of credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” by providing companies an option to assume that the conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of these assets while estimating expected credit losses. The standard is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 "Intangibles: Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" to modernize the accounting for software costs under, Intangible: Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (referred to as “internal-use software”). Upon adoption, we will be required to account for internal-use software under the updated capitalization criteria. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing adoption timing and the method of adoption.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), its Chief Executive Officer , reviews financial information on a consolidated basis to make operating decisions, assess financial performance, and allocate resources.
In evaluating performance, the CODM primarily assesses operating income (loss) and net income (loss), as reported within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and regularly reviews certain significant expense categories, including royalty expense; license, participation and technology costs; other direct operation costs; payroll and related expenses; professional services; advertising and marketing; amortization; and other general and administrative. These expense categories are considered key factors in managing the business and guiding resource allocation decisions. This approach ensures that the Company’s financial reporting reflects the way management monitors expenses and overall financial performance.

6. Earnings per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Common Stock holders, adjusted for by the deemed earnings attributable to participating common warrant holders, by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to Common Stock holders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include restricted stock units, stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computations of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss available to Common Stock holders causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive and are not included.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of the

On April 5, 2024, Cineverse Terrifier LLC ("T3 Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BondIt LLC ("T3 Lender") and the Company, as guarantor (the "T3 Loan Agreement").
The T3 Loan Agreement provides for a term loan with a principal amount not to exceed $ 3.666 million ( the "T3 Loan"), and a maturity date of April 1, 2025 , with a permitted extension of the term for 120 days under certain conditions. The T3 Loan bears no interest until the maturity date other than an interest advance equal to $ 576 thousand at the closing of the T3 Loan on April 5, 2024. The interest advance was recorded as a discount on the T3 Loan at inception and will be amortized to interest expense and increase the loan amount over its term. If the T3 Loan is extended as noted above, the T3 Loan will bear interest at a rate of 1.44 % per month. The T3 Borrower may prepay the obligations under the T3 Loan, in full or in part, without penalty or premium. The proceeds under the T3 Loan Agreement were used for the funding under the Company’s distribution arrangements for the film titled Terrifier 3 (the “Film”). The T3 Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, representation and warranties and events of default.
After the principal of the T3 Loan is paid in full, the T3 Lender will be entitled to receive 15 % of all royalties earned by the Company on the Film under its distribution agreements for the Film until the T3 Lender has received in total 1.75 times the full commitment amount of $ 3.666 million ("Participation Interest").

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
Cineverse operates in a remote environment without domestic operating leases. The Company previously maintained one domestic operating lease acquired through the acquisition of Digital Media Rights ("DMR"), which was subleased to a third-party. The Company was not relieved of its original lease obligation and therefore recognized both a lease liability and right-of-use asset as part of the arrangement through the end of the lease term in January 2025 . In addition, the Company has three operating leases related to its Cineverse India operations, with expiration dates in July 2027 . Expenses related to these leases were $ 75 thousand and $ 197 thousand during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 , respectively, and $ 117 thousand and $ 351 thousand during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Company did not have any sublease arrangements during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 , and accordingly did no t recognize any sublease income. The Company recognized $ 46 thousand and $ 138 thousand of sublease income related to its subleasing arrangement during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

9. INCOME TAXES
We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions. We recognized income tax expense of $ 19 thousand and $ 53 thousand for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. We recognized income tax expense of $ 6 thousand and $ 19 thousand for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Our income tax expense is attributable to taxable income earned in India relating to transfer pricing as well as state income taxes in the U.S.
We have recorded income tax expense of $ 53 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 related to U.S. state and foreign income taxes. We have not recorded tax benefits on our U.S. deferred tax assets because we continue to provide a valuation allowance for all our U.S. net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 as it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered based on an insufficient history of earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 was ( 0.8 )% and ( 0.5 )%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 was 0.1 % and 0.6 %, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”; Pub. L. 119-21) into law. The Act introduces significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The company evaluated the Act and concluded it will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
OBBBA retains the 21 % federal corporate income tax rate, restores and makes permanent the 100 % bonus depreciation for “qualified property” acquired on or after January 20, 2025, and permits immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental costs.
