Robert Ellin, CEO: "LiveOne had an exceptional year, with strong revenue growth in both subscription and sponsorship. We've strengthened our balance sheet by converting all debt to equity at $2.1 per share and maintaining a cash position of close to $11 million. "LiveOne is poised for 30%+ revenue growth after closing a $20 million+ B2B partnership, adding over 30 podcasts, and seeing subscriptions surge to 3.7 million, led by Tesla. Our publishing subsidiary has grown 300%, celebrity brands possesses huge revenue potential, we are witnessing a resurgence in demand for live streaming and pay-per-view, and our scripted hit podcasts, such as Vigilante and Varnamtown, have sparked unprecedented studio interest. "LiveOne will remain aggressive on our share buyback program as we believe our stock remains undervalued and continue to focus on delivering results for our shareholders."
