Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain income and/or expense items that management deems are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating results and/or certain items that are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance.\nAdjusted operating income or loss is defined by Dolphin as (loss) income from operations before: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) write-off of assets, (iii) impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, (iv) acquisition costs, (v) employee stock compensation, (vi) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (vii) bad debt expense and (viii) and impairment of capitalized production costs.\nManagement believes that the presentation of operating results using this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information for investors by providing them with the non-GAAP financial measure used by management for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting and in managing the business. This non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP financial results, should not be considered a measure of liquidity and is unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.\nReconciliation of GAAP loss from operations to non-GAAP income from operations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThree Months Ended\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n\n\nNine Months Ended\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2024\n\n\n2023\n\n\n2024\n\n\n2023\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      Revenues (GAAP)\n     \n\n$\n12,682,437 \n\n\n$\n10,184,511 \n\n\n$\n39,367,418 \n\n\n$\n31,100,867 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      Expenses:\n     \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      Direct costs\n     \n\n\n254,574\n\n\n\n185,308\n\n\n\n2,790,043\n\n\n\n621,449\n\n\n\n\n\n      Payroll and benefits\n     \n\n\n9,575,596\n\n\n\n8,382,659\n\n\n\n28,344,865\n\n\n\n26,114,881\n\n\n\n\n\n      Selling, general and administrative\n     \n\n\n1,838,765\n\n\n\n2,150,889\n\n\n\n5,665,365\n\n\n\n6,023,954\n\n\n\n\n\n      Acquisition costs\n     \n\n\n148,798\n\n\n\n4,666\n\n\n\n164,044\n\n\n\n8,823\n\n\n\n\n\n      Depreciation and amortization\n     \n\n\n636,782\n\n\n\n535,740\n\n\n\n1,745,579\n\n\n\n1,612,776\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of goodwill\n     \n\n\n6,480,992\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n6,671,557\n\n\n\n6,517,400\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of intangible assets\n     \n\n\n-\n\n\n\n341,417\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n341,417\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of notes receivable\n     \n\n\n1,270,000\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n1,270,000\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n\n\n      Change in fair value of contingent consideration\n     \n\n\n-\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n33,226\n\n\n\n\n\n      Legal and professional\n     \n\n\n631,629\n\n\n\n695,188\n\n\n\n1,825,588\n\n\n\n1,955,037\n\n\n\n\n\n      Total expenses (GAAP)\n     \n\n\n20,837,136\n\n\n\n12,295,867\n\n\n\n48,477,041\n\n\n\n43,228,963\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      Loss from operations (GAAP)\n     \n\n\n(8,154,699\n)\n\n\n(2,111,356\n)\n\n\n(9,109,623\n)\n\n\n(12,128,096\n)\n\n\n\n\n      Adjustments to GAAP measure:\n     \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      Depreciation and amortization\n     \n\n\n636,782\n\n\n\n535,740\n\n\n\n1,745,579\n\n\n\n1,612,776\n\n\n\n\n\n      Bad debt expense\n     \n\n\n14,051\n\n\n\n311,578\n\n\n\n301,030\n\n\n\n566,610\n\n\n\n\n\n      Acquisition costs\n     \n\n\n148,798\n\n\n\n4,666\n\n\n\n164,044\n\n\n\n8,823\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of goodwill\n     \n\n\n6,480,992\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n6,671,557\n\n\n\n6,517,400\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of intangible assets\n     \n\n\n-\n\n\n\n341,417\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n341,417\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of notes receivable\n     \n\n\n1,270,000\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n1,270,000\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n\n\n      Impairment of capitalized production costs\n     \n\n\n-\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n49,412\n\n\n\n\n\n      Change in fair value of contingent consideration\n     \n\n\n-\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n33,226\n\n\n\n\n\n      Stock compensation\n     \n\n\n96,696\n\n\n\n102,954\n\n\n\n346,440\n\n\n\n268,154\n\n\n\n\n\n      Adjusted income (loss) from operations (non-GAAP)\n     \n\n\n492,620\n\n\n\n(815,001\n)\n\n\n1,389,027\n\n\n\n(2,730,278\n)\n\n\n\n\nContact Information:\nJames Carbonara Partner, Hayden IRjames@haydenir.com646-755-7412\nSOURCE: Dolphin Entertainment\n\nView the original \npress release on accesswire.com","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2483330273"}
