LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO) has raised its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to $82 million‑$90 million and its adjusted EBITDA guidance to $5 million‑$10 million. The new targets are a sharp improvement over the company’s last twelve months, which reported $77.51 million in revenue and a negative $11.43 million in adjusted EBITDA, and they signal a return to profitability for the full year.
The company also disclosed that it has completed more than $15 million of pay‑to‑stock conversions at $7.50 per share, a move that has strengthened its balance sheet and reduced debt. In addition, LiveOne’s share‑repurchase program still has $5 million of repurchase authority remaining, underscoring management’s confidence in the company’s cash position.
LiveOne’s profitability is expected to be driven by two key operating units. The PodcastOne unit is projected to generate roughly $61 million in revenue and $6.3 million+ in adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026, while the restructured Custom Personalization Solutions (CPS) unit is expected to produce about $3.5 million in revenue and $600,000+ in cash flow. AI‑driven cost efficiencies have already delivered more than $5 million in savings since December 2025, and the company has reduced its workforce from 350 to 88 employees by February 2026.
Management highlighted the company’s growing B2B partnership pipeline, citing deals with Tesla, Amazon and other Fortune 500 customers. “I’m very pleased with our recent efforts to secure agreements with our key music partners and strengthen our balance sheet as we continue to position LiveOne for sustained profitability and growth,” said CEO Robert Ellin. He added that “our investments in AI‑driven efficiencies, combined with expanding strategic partnerships, are driving meaningful operating leverage across the business.”
The guidance update reflects LiveOne’s confidence that AI efficiencies and a robust B2B pipeline will accelerate profitability. The new revenue range is well above the company’s FY2027 EBITDA guidance of $8‑$10 million, indicating that management expects to achieve its profitability targets earlier than previously anticipated. The guidance also signals that LiveOne is positioning itself as a leaner, more scalable business model capable of capturing high‑margin B2B contracts while maintaining a strong cash position.
