Executive summary

  • Secured a new multi-year agreement with Universal Music Group, providing revenue stability and growth opportunities, though with a 5% lower base fee than 2023 and separate development fees negotiated as needed.

  • Revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2025, increased 1.3% year-over-year to $1,243,139, driven by growth in independent customer base and contractual indexation.

  • Net income for the quarter was $83,652, down from $118,140 in the prior year period.

  • Independent label revenue rose, supported by platform modernization, improved marketing, and pricing changes, with a notable 15.5% revenue bump in November and strong December performance.

  • Cost reduction initiatives led to a 1.3% decrease in total costs and 8.2% reduction in salaries and wages for the quarter, with further potential savings identified.

Financial highlights

  • Quarterly revenue increased by 1.3% (1.6% FX-adjusted) to $1,243,139; independent label revenue up 2.5%, major label revenue slightly down.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $252,544, a slight decrease due to lower capitalized activity.

  • Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1,362,500, up $244,500 (22%) from the previous quarter.

  • Working capital stood at $1,831,647, up from $1,634,587 at August 31, 2025.

  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $298,600, a 37.2% increase year-over-year.

Outlook and guidance

  • The Universal Music Group agreement is extended through December 2028, with service fees set at $1.6 million for 2026 and a 2% annual increase thereafter.

  • 2026 revenue expected to be impacted by 6.5% due to Universal contract changes, but growth in independent revenue and cost reductions are expected to offset this.

  • Further cost savings of up to 16% are under consideration, with decisions expected soon.

  • Ongoing investments in marketing and product development are expected to continue, with a focus on expanding the addressable market and enhancing customer engagement.

  • Optimism for continued revenue growth if recent trends in independent label performance persist.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
