MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2021 / Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, announces its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"The financial momentum we experienced in the first half of the year continued through the third quarter," stated Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment. "First, revenues of $9.4 million, up 70% year over year, represented our third consecutive record revenue quarter, driven by a terrific year over year 41% organic growth from existing subsidiaries. Secondly, positive operating income was achieved for the second consecutive quarter, even including the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization. And, third, our balance sheet has never been stronger, as we reported a record cash position of $12.7 million, which is an increase of 60% compared to December 31, 2020. As you would then expect, we reported a working capital surplus for the second consecutive quarter, growing to $4.5 million."

O'Dowd added, "We've been managing quite nicely to positive operating income, while we've been building out the Dolphin 2.0 business opportunities, including the infrastructure needed to launch our NFT business in earnest shortly. Furthermore, our cash on hand exceeds all debt, including long-term debt, by over $2.8 million, solidifying Dolphin as a financially-sound, profitable and growing company. That is a tremendous platform from which to execute on our first year of Dolphin 2.0 initiatives."
