BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include the content asset amortization, the assessment of the recoverability of content assets and equity method investments, and the determination of fair value estimates related to non-monetary transactions, share-based awards and liability-classified warrants (prior to their expiration in October 2025).
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company’s revenue is classified into three primary categories: Subscription, Licensing, and Other.
Subscription revenue is derived from arrangements providing ongoing access to the Company’s streaming content library. This includes subscriptions sold through our direct business and via wholesale distribution agreements. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the service. For arrangements via wholesale distribution agreements, the Company recognizes revenue straight-line over the term of the applicable distribution agreement or based on reported subscriber counts.
Licensing revenue is generated through the monetization of the Company’s content library and proprietary data assets, including traditional library sales to media companies, AI data licensing for model training, and non-monetary barter transactions. These arrangements represent the transfer of functional intellectual property. Revenue is generally recognized at the point in time when the license period begins and the content or data is made available for the customer’s use. For barter exchanges, revenue is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the assets and at the fair value of services received.
Other revenue primarily consists of advertising, sponsorship services, and brand partnerships across the Company's digital platforms. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when the advertisement is aired, displayed, or impressions are delivered.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured limits.
Investments in debt securities are held with reputable institutions and are monitored to manage credit risk exposure.
Accounts receivable, net are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers, the majority of which are located in the United States.
Investments in Debt Securities
The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as held-to-maturity ("HTM") under ASC “Accounting Standards Codification” 320, "Investments—Debt and Equity Securities." HTM investments represent securities
for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and they are reported at amortized cost.
Investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Investments with longer maturities are classified as short-term or long-term investments based on the remaining maturity at each balance sheet date and the Company’s intent to hold the security. Interest income earned from HTM investments is recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Interest and other Income” under non-operating income.
Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The applicable accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification at each reporting period. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis have included its investments in money market funds, U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, as well as assets held in a rabbi trust related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation (“NQDC”) plan. Level 1 inputs were derived by using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and were used to value the Company’s investments in money market funds, U.S. government debt securities, and the NQDC plan assets. Level 2 inputs were derived using prices for similar investments and were used to value the Company’s investments in corporate and municipal debt securities.
The Company’s liabilities previously measured at fair value on a recurring basis included its Private Placement Warrants issued to Software Acquisition Holdings LLC, the Company’s former Sponsor. All such Private Placement Warrants expired on October 14, 2025, at which time the associated liability was reduced to zero. Prior to their expiration, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was considered a Level 3 valuation and was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Refer to Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity for significant assumptions which the Company used in the fair value model for the Private Placement Warrants during the periods the warrants were outstanding.
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, e.g., when there is evidence of impairment indicators. The Company’s remaining financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
As of December 31, 2025, the Company ceased to be an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), because that date marked the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering. While the Company previously elected to use the extended transition period provided by the JOBS Act to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements until such time as those pronouncements were applicable to private companies, the sunset of its emerging growth company status means the Company is now generally required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the timelines applicable to public business entities.

The Company continues to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” and a “non-accelerated filer” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company has transitioned to the adoption timelines for public business entities, as a smaller reporting company, it may still be eligible to take advantage of certain accommodations and alternative effective dates for specific accounting standards where the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) allows for a staggered adoption for smaller registrants. The Company will evaluate the impact of any such standards on its consolidated financial statements as they are issued.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date, which amended the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard allows for adoption using either a prospective or a retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03, including the clarification provided by ASU 2025-01.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this update are intended to improve the navigability of interim reporting guidance and clarify when Topic 270 is applicable. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of interim disclosure requirements and introduces a disclosure principle requiring an entity to disclose any events or significant changes since the most recent annual reporting period that have a material effect on the entity. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The amendments in this update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
