Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2026) - Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQB: DSNY), the makers of Play MPE®, a cloud-based SaaS solution for digital asset management in the music industry, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended May 31, 2026.
"Following today's announcement of Sharath Cherian as our next Chief Executive Officer, effective July 15, 2026, I want to extend my warmest welcome to him as he steps into this role. I am proud of the resilience and dedication our employees have shown throughout this transition period. Our solid quarterly results are a direct reflection of that hard work," said Hyonmyong Cho, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer. "As expected, revenue was impacted by the previously announced longer-term agreement with a major label customer. Excluding that change, our core business remained stable, supported by continued growth in our independent customer base and solid performance across other customer segments."
I am excited to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer on July 15, 2026, to establish a clear, disciplined path forward for this organization," said Sharath Cherian, incoming Chief Executive Officer. "This company possesses an excellent foundation with a strong customer value proposition and a talented workforce that are ready to be unlocked. I look forward to working closely with our team to instill operational excellence, build long-term value for our shareholders, and drive a culture of execution and accountability."
Financial Highlights
Q3 FY2026 vs Q3 FY2025
- Growth in total customers of 5.0%
- Revenue of $1.0 million, a decrease of 8.4% mostly driven by major customer long term agreement pricing
- GAAP Net loss per share of $0.02, versus a loss of $0.01 in the comparable period a year ago
- Adjusted EBITDA loss of $55,500, versus EBITDA of $122,097 in the comparable period a year ago. Q3 FY2026 included a one-time severance cost of $110,467.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA, together with other GAAP measures, as a measure of our operating performance because it helps us compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, and the impact of our asset base, which can vary depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is a widely used measure of performance and because the adjustments we make provide additional clarity regarding our operating results and underlying profitability.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a measure of profitability, as it does not include the effects of interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, or non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is included below.
