We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying continuing operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that are noncash in nature or not related to our core business operations. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) as adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, with additional adjustments for (i) interest expense (net), (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) change in valuation of contingent consideration, (vi) liquidated damages, (vii) loss on impairment of assets, (viii) loss on sale of assets; (ix) employee retention credit, (x) employee restructuring payments, and (xi) professional and vendor fees. Our non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, we do not consider our non-GAAP measures as superior to, or a substitute for, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA: does not reflect interest expense and financing fees, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash available to us; does not reflect income tax provision or benefit, which is a noncash income or expense; does not reflect depreciation and amortization expense and, although this is a noncash expense, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, increasing our cash requirements; does not reflect stock-based compensation and, therefore, does not include all of our compensation costs; does not reflect the change in valuation of contingent consideration and, although this is a noncash income or expense, the change in the valuations each reporting period are not impacted by our actual business operations but is instead strongly tied to the change in the market value of our common stock; does not reflect liquidated damages and, therefore, does not include future cash requirements if we repay the liquidated damages in cash instead of shares of our common stock (which the investor would need to agree to); does not reflect any losses from the impairment of assets, which is a noncash operating expense; does not reflect any losses from the sale of assets, which is a noncash operating expense does not reflect the employee retention credits recorded by us for payroll related tax credits under the CARES Act; does not reflect payments related to employee severance and employee restructuring changes for our former executives; does not reflect the professional and vendor fees incurred by us for services provided by consultants, accountants, lawyers, and other vendors, which services were related to certain types of events that are not reflective of our business operations; and may not reflect proper non direct cost allocations. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated: (1) Interest expense is related to our capital structure and varies over time due to a variety of financing transactions. Interest expense includes $31 and $536 for amortization of debt discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which are noncash items. Investors should note that interest expense will recur in future periods. (2) Depreciation and amortization related to our developed technology and Platform is included within cost of revenues of $1,276 and $1,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and depreciation and amortization is included within operating expenses of $890 and $987 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We believe (i) the amount of depreciation and amortization expense in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of tangible and intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that such expense will recur in future periods. (3) Stock-based compensation represents noncash costs arise from the grant of stock-based awards to employees, consultants and directors. We believe that excluding the effect of stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons in our operating performance because (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations, and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Additionally, we believe that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making meaningful comparisons between our operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future. (4) Change in fair value of contingent consideration represents the change in the put option on our common stock in connection with the Fexy Studios acquisition. (5) Liquidated damages (or interest expense related to accrued liquidated damages) represents amounts we owe to certain of our investors in private placements offerings conducted in fiscal years 2018 through 2020, pursuant to which we agreed to certain covenants in the respective securities purchase agreements and registration rights agreements, including the filing of resale registration statements and becoming current in our reporting obligations, which we were not able to timely meet. (6) Loss on impairment of assets represents certain assets that are no longer useful. (7) Employee restructuring payments represents severance payments to employees under employer restructuring arrangements and payments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Why The Arena Group Holdings Inc (AREN) is Surging in 2025

We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where The Arena Group Holdings Inc (NYSE:AREN) stands against other communication services stocks that are up the most so far in 2025. The communication services sector has been one of Wall Street's most dynamic performers so far this year. The sector has a lot of breadth and encompasses everything from traditional telecom giants to digital advertising platforms and streaming entertainment providers, so the sector hardly moves in tandem. What makes this sector particularly intriguing is how different subsegments are thriving for entirely different reasons. Tech-oriented communication stocks have capitalized on AI, whereas telecom stalwarts have found strength through 5G network expansion, which is finally becoming the dominant communication standard this year. Understanding these market leaders provides both defensive positioning opportunities and exposure to some of the most innovative companies. Even during bear markets, there are pockets of the market that perform exceptionally well. For example, I identified in another article. For this article, I screened the best-performing communication services stocks year-to-date. I will also mention the number of hedge fund investors in these stocks. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (). A close up of a laptop screen with a user engaging in the platform's features. Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 3 The Arena Group Holdings Inc (NYSE:AREN) is a technology-driven media company that operates a portfolio of digital publishing brands, including TheStreet, Parade, and Men's Journal. The most important catalyst for Arena Group's massive rally in 2025 was the announcement of a leadership shakeup in April, with the Board terminating CEO Sara Silverstein and appointing Paul Edmondson as interim CEO. This move was interpreted as a pivot toward a more aggressive growth and transformation strategy, which the Board said required entrepreneurial leadership. Investors have also been encouraged by the company's first-ever profitable quarter reported in late 2024, a focus on revenue diversification, and the expectation of a new growth plan under Edmondson. AREN stock is up 241.79% year-to-date. Overall, AREN ranks 1st on our list of communication services stocks that are up the most so far in 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of AREN, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.

The Arena Group reports fourth-quarter earnings

Editor's note: TheStreet's parent company is The Arena Group (AREN), an innovative media and technology company that is home to many of the most iconic and passionate media brands, including TheStreet, Parade, Men's Journal, and Athlon Sports. In the interest of our loyal audience here at TheStreet, we wanted to share our parent company's latest financial results so you can have transparency in our media business. Read excerpts from today's press release below. And now some news about us. Arena Group Holdings (AREN) , TheStreet's parent company, posted fourth-quarter earnings on April 15. In addition to TheStreet, the technology platform and media company is home to well-regarded media brands, including Parade Media, Men's Journal, Surfer, Powder and Athlon Sports. "In 2024, we built a strong foundation with Athlon Sports. This started with premium content, expanding our print products at newsstands and growing our social footprint," Paul Edmondson, chief executive of The Arena Group, said in a statement. "We then coupled this with what we call 'competitive publishing' to expand our reach." "Competitive publishing is a new model designed for 24/7 breaking news coverage where multiple, talented teams compete. It's proven to grow audiences, pay talent better and more fairly, and be profitable for The Arena Group. A true win-win." Edmondson continued. "We launched this model on Men's Journal in Q1 2025, and at Parade and The Street at the start of Q2 2025. The results are very promising. We expect to be profitable in every quarter of 2025." Fourth-quarter revenue rose 8% from the previous quarter to $36.2 million, while income from continuing operations totaled $7.2 million, or 15 cents per share, compared with $4.8 million, or 13 cents per share. TheStreet delivered 36 million average monthly page views, up 1% from the third quarter. Athlon Sports reported 284 million page views in the quarter, up 20% from the previous quarter and reflecting a 325% increase from the year-ago quarter. The site averaged 94 million page views a month in Q4 2024. For the year, The Arena Group posted a loss from continuing operations of $7.7 million, compared with a loss of $37.2 million a year ago. This year has seen Athlon Sports launch Best Podcast Available, a new podcast with an National Football League draft expert, Luke Easterling, who has covered college football and the NFL for more than two decades. Athlon Sports also released its 2025 motorsports racing preview print magazine after a two-year hiatus. The magazine included ranking of the top 30 Nascar Cup Series drivers, complete with scouting reports, where drivers, crew chiefs, team owners and industry insiders anonymously provide input on each driver. Meanwhile, Parade had an exclusive interview with the actor, producer and director Alan Cumming in February. The Emmy and Tony Award winner talked about the contestants and his costumes on "The Traitors," which became the No. 1 unscripted TV series in the U.S.; why he could die happy never being in "Cabaret" again, and what it's like being 60.
