\n\u00b7<\/span><\/td>\nQ1’26 Revenue Rises 5.2% YoY to $12.8M<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\n\u00b7<\/span><\/td>\nReiterates Expectations for Continued Revenue Growth, Significant Free Cash Flow Generation, and
\nAdjusted EBITDA Margin Expansion in 2026<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

MIAMI, FL<\/b> \/ Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN),
\na leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter
\nended March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bill O’Dowd, CEO of Dolphin, commented:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the first quarter is historically our lightest due to normal
\nbusiness seasonality, we are pleased to report continued top-line growth, with total revenue increasing 5.2% year-over-year to $12.8 million.
\nFurthermore, we reduced our Adjusted EBITDA loss by 25% year-over-year. We emphasize Adjusted EBITDA because, given our significant non-cash
\namortization expenses and minimal capital expenditures, it is a much more accurate reflection of our true cash flow potential than operating
\nincome.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As noted in our prior quarter’s remarks, following several years of
\nacquisitions and growth-related investment, Dolphin is now well positioned to realize the benefits of that work. We continue to operate
\nin highly attractive sectors, and with rising profitability, modest capex requirements, and $127 million in NOL carryforwards, we remain
\nconfident in our ability to generate meaningful free cash flow in the periods ahead. Finally, with insiders holding a substantial stake
\nin the company, management remains deeply aligned with shareholders in the pursuit of long-term value.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, we are excited about the rest of 2026, 2027, and beyond.
\nIn addition to organic improvements in our existing business, there are readily identifiable catalysts that should increase earnings even
\nmore. We are making progress with our DealMaker partnership, and we just announced a publishing imprint venture with Copper Books and
\nSimon & Schuster that allows us to offer premium book publishing services to our clients with no upfront capital required from Dolphin.
\nWe would also remind investors that our bank debt matures in less than two and a half years, which will free up nearly $2.2 million in
\nannual principal and interest payments. Looking a bit further out, we continue to anticipate roughly $1 million in annualized lease savings
\nonce our large New York City and Los Angeles leases expire in the second half of 2027. Given our NOLs, which substantially shield us from
\ncash taxes, the bulk of these combined savings should flow directly to the bottom line, providing a further tailwind to free cash flow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

    In order to provide greater
    \ntransparency regarding our operating performance, the financial results in this press release refer to a non-GAAP financial measure that
    \ninvolves adjustments to GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain income and\/or expense items that management deems are
    \nnot directly attributable to the Company’s core operating results and\/or certain items that are inconsistent in amounts and frequency,
    \nmaking it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
    \ndepreciation and amortization (\u201cAdjusted EBITDA\u201d) is defined by Dolphin as net (loss) or income adjusted for (i) interest,
    \n(ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) acquisition costs, (v) change in fair value of convertible note, (vi) allowance
    \nfor credit losses, (vii) litigation costs; (viii) other one-time or non-cash costs.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Management believes that the presentation
    \nof operating results using this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information for investors by providing them with
    \nthe non-GAAP financial measure used by management for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting and in managing
    \nthe business. This non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
    \nThese non-GAAP financial results should not be considered a measure of liquidity and is unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP financial
    \nmeasures provided by other companies.<\/p>\n
