LiveOne Inc (NASDAQ:LVO) reported over $112 million in revenues, surpassing previous guidance. The podcast business achieved significant growth, with revenues increasing from $38 million to over $52 million year-over-year. The company has successfully converted over 1.3 million Tesla users, contributing to a total of 1.5 million subscribers and ad-supported users. LiveOne Inc (NASDAQ:LVO) has launched significant partnerships, including deals with Amazon worth $16.5 million and a Fortune 50 company worth over $25 million. The company has made strategic financial moves, such as replacing a $7.5 million credit line with a $27.5 million facility, enhancing its cash position. LiveOne Inc (NASDAQ:LVO) posted a consolidated net loss of $10.9 million for Q4 2025. The company has cut a third of its staff at Slacker Radio and over 70% of its cash at CPS, indicating significant restructuring.

Q: Are your Web3 and crypto initiatives primarily focused on podcast content? A: Yes, Robert Ellin confirmed that the initial focus is on podcast content.
