Advertising revenues from the broadcast and recurring commercial music segment increased by more than 45% for the second consecutive year. Stingray Group Inc (STGYF) launched new channels like Cozy Cafe, Movie Music, Stargaze, and Cityscapes, positioning itself as a leading global supplier of musical and NBN channels for connected TVs. The company achieved double-digit organic growth for the second straight year, with a 12.3% year-over-year increase in fiscal 2025. Net debt was reduced by more than $27 million, closing the year with a net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.28. Broadcasting and commercial music revenues increased by 17.8% to $254 million in fiscal 2025, driven by higher fast channel revenues and positive foreign exchange impacts. Revenues in other countries decreased by 5.5% to $11.2 million in the most recent quarter, mainly due to lower commercial revenues. The adjusted EBITDA margin was partially offset by greater variable expenses related to higher salaries. Corporate adjusted EBITDA amounted to a negative $1.7 million in Q4 2025 compared to a negative $1.5 million in Q4 2024. Cash flow from operating activities declined to $39.7 million in Q4 2025 from $44.3 million in Q4 2024, primarily due to a foreign exchange loss and higher income taxes paid. The company is facing challenges in the retail media segment, requiring significant effort to evangelize the market and improve data reporting for advertisers. Q: Can you provide insights into your expectations for fiscal 2026, particularly regarding fast channel revenues and retail media ad growth? A: Eric Boyko, President and CEO, stated that they anticipate fast channel and retail media ad growth to remain above 40% in fiscal 2026. The company is launching more channels and expanding partnerships, which is expected to significantly contribute to revenue growth. The introduction of a premium advertising network for backfilling unsold inventory is also seen as a potential game-changer, potentially doubling the size of their fast channel revenues. Q: Are you seeing any competitive threats in the fast channel space, and how diversified are your platform partnerships? A: Eric Boyko mentioned that Stingray remains the only audio music partner with their current platforms and has a strong position in the ambiance channel space. They are launching more channels and expanding partnerships with major platforms like Vizio, Roku, and LG. The market is large, with traditional TV advertising shifting to fast channels, and Stingray is well-positioned to capture this growth. Q: Can you elaborate on the impact of backfilling on your margins and revenue recognition? A: Eric Boyko explained that when partners sell ads, revenues are recognized on a net basis, resulting in higher margins. When Stingray sells ads, revenues are reported gross, with a typical 50/50 revenue share with partners, resulting in a gross margin of around 40%. Despite this, they are confident in maintaining a 42% EBITDA margin for 2026. Q: What are your plans regarding M&A, and how do you intend to finance potential acquisitions? A: Eric Boyko indicated that they are focused on acquisitions in growth areas like fast channels and programmatic sales. They aim to maintain a net debt to EBITDA ratio below 3 times and prefer not to issue equity due to high free cash flow yields. The company is in a strong position to finance acquisitions through existing cash flow and debt facilities. Q: How is the connected car segment progressing, and what are your expectations for its contribution to revenue? A: Eric Boyko noted that the connected car segment is a long-term project, with significant discussions underway with global car manufacturers. They expect to reach eight-digit revenues in this segment, although it remains smaller compared to advertising. The company is optimistic about the potential of karaoke and other features in cars.

Stingray Group's (TSE:RAY.A) Dividend Will Be CA$0.075

The board of Stingray Group Inc. (TSE:RAY.A) has announced that it will pay a dividend of CA$0.075 per share on the 14th of March. This payment means that the dividend yield will be 3.5%, which is around the industry average. See our latest analysis for Stingray Group We aren't too impressed by dividend yields unless they can be sustained over time. Even though Stingray Group isn't generating a profit, it is generating healthy free cash flows that easily cover the dividend. We generally think that cash flow is more important than accounting measures of profit, so we are fairly comfortable with the dividend at this level. According to analysts, EPS should be several times higher next year. If the dividend extends its recent trend, estimates say the dividend could reach 11%, which we would be comfortable to see continuing. Even though the company has been paying a consistent dividend for a while, we would like to see a few more years before we feel comfortable relying on it. Since 2016, the dividend has gone from CA$0.12 total annually to CA$0.30. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 11% over that duration. Stingray Group has been growing its dividend quite rapidly, which is exciting. However, the short payment history makes us question whether this performance will persist across a full market cycle. The company's investors will be pleased to have been receiving dividend income for some time. Let's not jump to conclusions as things might not be as good as they appear on the surface. Stingray Group's EPS has fallen by approximately 22% per year during the past five years. Such rapid declines definitely have the potential to constrain dividend payments if the trend continues into the future. On the bright side, earnings are predicted to gain some ground over the next year, but until this turns into a pattern we wouldn't be feeling too comfortable. Overall, we don't think this company makes a great dividend stock, even though the dividend wasn't cut this year. The company is generating plenty of cash, which could maintain the dividend for a while, but the track record hasn't been great. We would probably look elsewhere for an income investment. Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock. For instance, we've picked out 3 warning signs for Stingray Group that investors should take into consideration. Looking for more high-yielding dividend ideas?

Refer to 'Non-IFRS Measures' on page 5 of this news release for more information about each non-IFRS measure and pages 6-7 for the reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. Reporting on third quarter results for fiscal 2025, Stingray's President, co-founder and CEO Eric Boyko stated: 'We continued to outperform Street expectations in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 with record adjusted EBITDA of $42.1 million on unprecedented revenues of $108.2 million. These outstanding financial results were mainly driven by ongoing strength in our FAST channel business, which has benefited from a pilot project with TV manufacturer VIZIO. Robust FAST channel revenue contributions, higher equipment and installation sales related to digital signage, and improved Radio revenues were the primary drivers behind revenue growth year-over-year. 'Looking ahead, we intend to enhance the monetization of our audio retail media network, which boasts more than 30,000 locations across North America, by optimizing pricing on measurable data, adding sales staff and channels to improve the sell-out rate of our current inventory, maximizing the number of ads per hour for retailers, and expanding our footprint. We also have created a complementary revenue stream by deploying in-store video advertising in 600 Metro banners throughout the province of Quebec with additional deployments at affiliated Jean Coutu and Brunet drugstores planned for the upcoming year. Consequently, retail media advertising remains a key growth vector for Stingray in 2025 and beyond. 'On the in-car entertainment front, we delivered incremental sales growth in the third quarter with Stingray Karaoke's 100,000 song catalogue increasingly becoming the default, value-added service for connected cars on a global basis. In partnership with BYD and The Singing Machine, we also announced the launch of a multi-featured microphone for the automobile manufacturer's fleet of new energy vehicles, fully compatible with our updated karaoke application. 'Altogether, revenues for our Broadcasting and Commercial Music business increased 10.0% to $72.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, while Radio revenues, supported by strong digital share gains, rose 4.0% to $36.0 million. 'Finally, I am pleased to report that we recently secured an additional $80 million in financing from a banking syndicate to pursue growth opportunities. The refinancing consists of a $500 million revolving credit facility maturing in December 2028. This new borrowing agreement provides additional liquidity for our working capital and greater flexibility to explore strategic acquisitions,' Mr. Boyko concluded. Third Quarter Results Revenues increased $7.9 million, or 7.9%, to $108.2 million in Q3 2025 from $100.3 million in Q3 2024. The year-over-year growth was mainly driven by increases in FAST channel revenues, higher equipment and installation sales related to digital signage, and greater Radio revenues. These factors were partially offset by lower retail media advertising sales driven by a one-time large order last year. For the quarter, revenues in Canada rose $3.2 million, or 6.2%, to $54.2 million from $51.0 million in Q3 2024. The growth reflects enhanced equipment and installation sales related to digital signage and improved Radio revenues. Revenues in the United States grew $5.2 million, or 14.1%, to $42.3 million in Q3 2025 from $37.1 million in Q3 2024. The increase can largely be attributed to higher FAST channel sales. Revenues in Other countries decreased $0.5 million, or 3.7%, to $11.7 million in Q3 2025 from $12.2 million in Q3 2024. The decline was mainly due to reduced subscription revenues. Broadcasting and Commercial Music revenues increased $6.5 million, or 10.0%, to $72.2 million in Q3 2025 from $65.7 million in Q3 2024. The growth was primarily due to higher FAST channel revenues and greater equipment and installation sales related to digital signage. Radio revenues improved $1.4 million, or 4.0%, year-over-year to $36.0 million in Q3 2025 on higher digital advertising sales, partially offset by lower national airtime revenues. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(1) grew $3.5 million, or 9.0%, to $42.1 million in Q3 2025 from $38.6 million in Q3 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) reached 38.9% in Q3 2025 compared to 38.5% in the same period in 2024. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) were mainly due to higher revenues as variable expenses remained relatively stable year-over-year and to a change in product mix. Net income totaled $15.7 million, or $0.23 per share, in Q3 2025 compared to $9.1 million, or $0.13 per share, in Q3 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher operating results and a lower unrealized loss on derivative financial instruments. Adjusted net income(1) reached $23.4 million, or $0.34 per share, in Q3 2025 compared to $18.5 million, or $0.27 per share, in the same period of 2024. The increase can primarily be attributed to higher operating results. Cash flow from operating activities totaled $35.4 million in Q3 2025 compared to $30.9 million in Q3 2024. The year-over-year improvement was mainly caused by a lower negative net change in non-cash operating items and higher operating results. These factors were partially offset by a non-recurring recovery of income taxes attributable to the Radio segment in the comparable period in 2024. Adjusted free cash flow(1) amounted to $28.6 million in Q3 2025 compared to $32.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a non-recurring recovery of income taxes attributable to the Radio segment in the comparable period in 2024, partially offset by higher operating results. As at December 31, 2024, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $19.3 million and a credit facility of $370.8 million, of which $127.2 million was available. The Net Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio(1) stood at 2.54x as at December 31, 2024 compared to 2.99x as at December 31, 2023. Declaration of DividendOn February 4, 2025, the Corporation declared a dividend of $0.075 per subordinate voting share, variable subordinate voting share and multiple voting share. The dividend will be payable on or around March 14, 2025, to shareholders on record as of February 28, 2025. The Corporation's dividend policy is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may vary depending upon, among other things, our available cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, business growth opportunities and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The dividends paid are designated as "eligible" dividends for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provisions of provincial and territorial tax legislation.

Such forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, information with respect to Stingray's goals, beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. Forward-looking information is identified by the use of terms and phrases such as "may", "would", "should", "could", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "plan", "foresee", "believe", and "continue", or the negative of these terms and similar terminology, including references to assumptions. Please note, however, that not all forward-looking information contains these terms and phrases. Forward-looking information is based upon a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Stingray's control. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors identified in Stingray's Annual Information Form for the year ended March 31, 2024, which is available on SEDAR at Consequently, all of the forward-looking information contained herein is qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements, and there can be no guarantee that the results or developments that Stingray anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on Stingray's business, financial condition or results of operation.

Non-IFRS MeasuresThe Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are important measures when analyzing its operating profitability without being influenced by financing decisions, non-cash items and income taxes strategies. Comparison with peers is also easier as companies rarely have the same capital and financing structure. The Corporation believes that Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Net income per share are important measures as it shows stable results from its operation which allows users of the financial statements to better assess the trend in the profitability of the business. The Corporation believes that Adjusted free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow per share are important measures when assessing the amount of cash generated after accounting for capital expenditures and non-core charges. It demonstrates cash available to make business acquisitions, pay dividend and reduce debt. The Corporation believes that Net debt and Net debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are important to analyse the company's debt repayment capacity on an annualized basis, taking into consideration the annualized adjusted EBITDA of acquisitions made during the last twelve months. Each of these non-IFRS financial measures is not an earnings or cash flow measure recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. This method of calculating such financial measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, our definition of these non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of our performance or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.
