ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Current report

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company disposed of its educational lifelong-learning, faith-based, and audio-format content brands (Curiosity University, Catholic Stream and Curiosity Audio, respectively) to an unrelated third party, concurrently entering into a long-term content license agreement with the buyer to continue monetizing the underlying content library, alongside a Distribution and Services Agreement under which the Company receives a fee equal to 10% of the buyer's net revenue for providing ongoing operational and distribution services. This transaction reflects the Company's ongoing strategy to concentrate its resources on its core streaming and technology platform, including the continued expansion of its AI content and technology licensing initiatives, while divesting non-core brand assets that are not central to this strategic focus. See Note 16 — Disposition of Curiosity Brands, LLC and Related Agreements to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported operating income and net income of $9.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively, compared to operating income and net income of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This improvement in results was attributable to a $4.2 million, or 22%, increase in total revenue, driven by higher licensing revenue and a $4.5 million, or 24%, decrease in total operating expenses, driven by a reduction in costs across all operating expense categories.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported operating income and net income of $7.6 million each, compared to operating income and net income of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the same period in 2025. This improvement in results was attributable to a $4.3 million, or 13%, increase in total revenue, driven by higher licensing revenue, and a $2.8 million, or 8%, decrease in total operating expenses, reflecting lower cost of revenues and advertising and marketing, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.

Current report

Cost of revenues decreased $2.6 million, or 29%, and $3.0 million, or 19%, for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in distribution costs, principally reflecting the timing of AI revenue share expenses. These increases were partially offset by an increase in Other, primarily driven by higher storage and other technology costs reflecting the investment in our data library for AI training. We expect these costs to decline in the second half of 2026.

Current report

For thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026, advertising and marketing expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 42%, and $0.8 million, or 13%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The decreases were primarily driven by more efficient marketing spend.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a $0.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the RSUs granted in July 2025 and a $0.2 million decrease in professional services, reflecting our ongoing commitment to disciplined expense management and operational efficiency.

Current report

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded income tax provision of $0.4 million and$0.5 million, respectively, compared to income tax benefits of $0.1 million each for the same periods in 2025. The change in the income tax provision was primarily driven by changes in our estimated annual effective tax rate, reflecting projected full-year valuation allowance utilization and state income tax liabilities.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $11.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used was primarily driven by a $2.8 million decrease in dividends paid and a $0.6 million decrease in payments related to tax withholding, partially offset by $0.9 million used for repurchases of common stock in 2026, with no comparable activity in 2025.

Previous report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported an operating loss of $1.5 million, compared to an operating income of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This $1.6 million decrease in operating results was primarily driven by a $1.7 million, or 11%, increase in total operating expenses, largely due to higher stock-based compensation charges.

Previous report

The Company recognized a net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $0.3 million in the prior year period, resulting in a year-over-year decrease of $1.6 million. The decrease in our net result of $1.6 million, was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million.

Previous report

Since the Company was founded in 2015, we have generated the majority of our revenues from consumers directly accessing our content in the form of monthly or annual subscription plans.

Previous report

For thethree months ended March 31, 2026, total revenue increased slightly by $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2025, as a $0.6 million increase in Licensing revenue was offset by a $0.5 million decline in Subscription revenue.

Previous report

We provide advertising and sponsorship services by developing integrated digital brand partnerships designed to offer CuriosityStream content in a variety of forms. These include short- and long-form program integration, branded social media promotional videos, and broadcast advertising spots within our video and audio programs. Our services are made available via our linear programming channels, in front of the paywall, and through an increasing focus on digital display ads. Additionally, we deliver content through advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) and free advertising-supported streaming television (FAST) platforms. This includes our dedicated YouTube channels (Curiosity and Curiosity University), where we generate advertising revenue from our digital content without transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) components. We continue to expand these offerings across YouTube and other similar ad-supported distribution channels to maximize our brand reach and digital ad inventory.

Previous report

In the future, we intend to continue developing integrated digital brand partnerships with advertisers. These sponsorship campaigns offer companies the chance to be associated with CuriosityStream content in the forms described above. We believe the impressions accumulated in these multi-faceted campaigns would result in verifiable metrics for the clients.

Previous report

Our primary operating costs relate to the cost of producing and acquiring our content, the costs of advertising and marketing our service, personnel costs, and distribution fees.

Previous report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, our operating expenses were $16.7 million and $15.0 million, respectively, an increase of $1.7 million, or 11%.

Previous report

Cost of revenues decreased to $6.7 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2026, a 6% decrease from$7.1 million for the same period in 2025. These decreases were primarily driven by a $1.3 million, or 45% decreases in distribution costs, resulting from reductions in music licensing fees and AI revenue share costs compared to the same period in 2025. These decreases were partly offset by $0.7 million, or 93% increase in Other for thethree months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to higher storage costs and web service costs directly related to the delivery and management of data assets under our increased AI licensing agreements.

Previous report

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, in April 2026, the minority partners of the Spiegel Venture exercised their respective put options. As a result, the Company is committed to acquiring the remaining 68% ownership interest for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.9 million, based on the formula set forth in the relevant Share Purchase Agreement. The Company expects to finalize this transaction in mid-2026 and intends to fund the acquisition using existing cash on hand. Upon closing, the Company will own 100% of the Spiegel Venture and will begin consolidating its financial results.

Previous report

We cannot predict when or if we will repurchase any additional shares of common stock as this stock repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints imposed by applicable federal securities laws, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. The program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

Previous report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $5.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of $2.5 million primarily due to dividends paid.

Previous wording

Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges, and other factors, including our ability to efficiently grow our subscriber base, increase our prices and expand our service offerings to maximize subscriber lifetime value.

Current wording

Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, such as our AI licensing initiatives and other factors, including our ability to efficiently grow our subscription business.

Previous wording

The Company continually evaluates pricing structures to align with market conditions, including price adjustments for legacy subscribers initiated in March 2023 as well as March 2026. Alongside standard subscriptions, the Company offers the “Smart Bundle” service, which includes access to Tastemade, Kidstream, SOMM TV, and Curiosity University.

Alongside standard subscriptions, the Company offers the “Smart Bundle” service, which includes access to Tastemade, Kidstream, SOMM TV, and Curiosity University.

Previous wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, direct business revenue decreased due to a lower overall subscriber count. However, this portion of our business benefited from a strategic price increase implemented in March 2026, which applied to our subscription offerings across our direct business platforms. Additionally, new partnerships and revised affiliate agreements drove a net increase in wholesale distribution revenue for the quarter.

Current wording

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, subscription revenue decreased due to a lower overall subscriber count, partially offset by an increase in average monthly revenue per paying subscriber reflecting the strategic price increases implemented in March 2026, which applied to our subscription offerings across our direct business platforms.

Previous wording

Through our Licensing business, we license collections of existing titles from our content library to various media companies. These transactions include traditional cash licenses as well as non-cash barter arrangements (whereby we license out our content in exchange for new programming to expand our library while preserving liquidity). Additionally, we license and sublicense high volumes of content and data assets to organizations developing large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) products.

Current wording

Through our licensing business, we deliver content and data assets across two primary models: traditional cash licensing and non-cash barter arrangements. Under our cash licensing arrangements, we license titles from our library to various media companies. We also license and sublicense high volumes of content and data assets to technology organizations developing artificial intelligence technologies, such as large language models (LLMs), small language models (SLMs), and physical AI applications. Under our non-cash barter arrangements, we exchange existing titles from our library for new programming, which allows us to expand our content offerings while preserving liquidity.

Previous wording

The growth in licensing was primarily driven by expanded barter activity. Under these non-cash arrangements, the Company acquires additional content to expand its content library, which consequently required the concurrent recognition of licensing revenue at the estimated fair value of the content received. The volume of these transactions varies based on the timing of content exchanges between the Company and its partners.

Current wording

Licensing growth during the period was driven by an increase in traditional cash licensing, including the long-term content license agreement with Curiosity Brands, as well as expanded barter activity. Because acquiring content under non-cash barter transactions requires the concurrent recognition of licensing revenue at the estimated fair value of the assets received, increased barter volume directly impacts recognized revenue. The frequency and timing of these arrangements fluctuate based on when content exchanges are executed with our partners.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.5 million from $5.0 million for the same period in 2025.

These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in Professional services, mainly due to lower legal expense.

Current wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 9%, from the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the RSUs granted in July 2025, and a $0.2 million increase in payroll and related expenses primarily due to a higher accrual for annual incentive compensation, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in professional services.

Previous wording

The fair value of the Company's warrant liability was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which took into account a number of economic assumptions, including the market price of the Company's common stock and its expected volatility.

Going forward, we expect to continue making expenditures for purchases of property and equipment.

Depending on market conditions, we may choose to defer a portion of our budgeted expenditures until later periods to achieve the desired balance between sources and uses of liquidity and prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate cash flow. Subject to financing alternatives, we may also increase our capital expenditures significantly to take advantage of opportunities we consider to be attractive.
