Dolphin Entertainment Q2 Revenue Increases 66% Year over Year and 20% Sequentially to a Record $8.6 Million

Positive Operating Income Even Including Non-Cash Depreciation & Amortization Expense

Net Income of $1.3M Equals $0.17 Basic Earnings Per Share

Completes Growth to Positive Working Capital With Surplus of $1.26M

NFTs, Dolphin's First of Dolphin 2.0 Initiatives, Have Launched

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2021 / Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, announces its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

"Three major financial milestones were achieved this quarter," stated Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment. "First, revenues of $8.6M, which topped by 20% the previous record of only one quarter prior. Secondly, positive operating income for the first time as a NASDAQ company when including the non-cash expense of depreciation and amortization. Operating income is the P&L metric we use to gauge ourselves, so this was very meaningful to us. And, third, a working capital surplus for the first time in Dolphin's history as a public company, achieved in 3 ½ years after uplisting to NASDAQ and despite pursuing an acquisition strategy to assemble a Super Group of six best-in-class marketing companies."

"All together, these 3 milestones show that we are a financially-sound, profitable and growing company," continued O'Dowd. "That is a great platform from which to accelerate our first year of Dolphin 2.0 initiatives, and make investments in opportunities we see to own content, live events, and consumer products that we already know we can market as well as anyone else."
