Today, we\u2019ve laser-focused our resources and investment on the highest return areas of our core music business. This has led to market share gains that have translated into strong, measurable improvement in our financial performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyncl cited DSP deals as key factors too. \u201cSince the beginning of 2025, we\u2019ve signed renewals with four of the largest DSPs.
