"Versant enters this next chapter as an independent, well-positioned media and entertainment company with strong momentum and clear strategic focus.

I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead as we invest in our iconic brands to evolve our business model. We aim to do so with a focus on delivering strong shareholder returns, both in the near and long term," said Mark Lazarus, Chief Executive Officer.

"We believe our 2025 results demonstrate the underlying strength and durability of Versant's business, with strong profitability, margins and cash flow generation. Looking ahead, we are investing in exciting new initiatives across our brands to extend audience reach, grow new revenue streams, and deliver attractive financial returns. We are committed to driving value for our shareholders, as highlighted by our Board's declaration of a $0.375 per share quarterly cash dividend and authorization to repurchase up to $1 billion in shares," said Anand Kini, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

**Business Highlights**

In 2025, Versant completed the work to establish itself as a standalone public company, strengthened its leadership across four large and growing markets and executed against its strategic priorities: win with premium content, extend the reach of its brands, and accelerate the growth of its digital platforms.

<sup>1</sup> Adjusted EBITDA and Standalone Adjusted EBITDA presented in this release are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found under Table 4 below.

**Basis of Presentation**

For the periods presented in the combined financial statements included in this report, the Versant businesses were operated as part of Comcast's Media segment. The combined financial statements have been derived from Comcast's historical accounting records as if Versant operations had been conducted independently from Comcast, and reflect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses on a historical cost basis. The combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

------

The historical financial statements were prepared using allocations and carve-out methodologies through December 31, 2025, using assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Accordingly, the combined financial statements herein for periods prior to the separation from Comcast may not be indicative of our future performance, do not necessarily include the actual expenses that would have been incurred by us, and may not reflect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we been a separate, standalone company during the historical periods presented.

**Dividend and Share Repurchase Announcement**

The Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share, representing an annualized dividend of $1.50 per share, subject to applicable board approvals, payable on April 22, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 1, 2026.

The Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future, the declaration, timing, amount, and payment of which will be subject to review and approval by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion, taking into account such considerations as the Board may deem relevant at the time, including, among others, the Company's financial results, financial and market conditions and the Company's capital allocation plans.

The Company also announced that its Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of its outstanding common stock. This represents the Company's first repurchase authorization. The repurchases could be executed from time to time, subject to general business and market conditions, other investment opportunities at the Company's discretion as well as applicable legal requirements, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases as well as pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The repurchase authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common shares, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

**Conference Call and Other Information**

The Company will host a conference call on March 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the call and related presentation materials will be available on the Company's Investor Relations website at <u>www.versantmedia.com/investors</u>.

**TABLE 4<br>Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

We evaluate our operating performance based on several factors, including the following non-GAAP financial measures:

**<u>Adjusted EBITDA</u>**

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our business as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from property and equipment and intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, and by our investment activities, including the impacts of entities that we do not consolidate, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our operating performance and to allocate resources. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Versant before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain other events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance.

**<u>Standalone Adjusted EBITDA</u>**

Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in periods prior to the separation from Comcast ("the Separation") to measure the operational strength and performance of our business as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Consistent with Adjusted EBITDA, this measure eliminates noncash depreciation and amortization expense and is unaffected by our capital and tax structures and by our investment activities, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA also includes estimated incremental costs of operating as a standalone company following the Separation. We use Standalone Adjusted EBITDA and believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides an estimate of our operating performance giving effect to the Separation and related transactions and additional costs that we expect to incur as a standalone company for the periods presented, and is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Standalone Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

We define Standalone Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Versant before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any, and further adjusted to give effect to estimated incremental costs of commercial agreements with Comcast and estimated additional costs we expect to incur as a standalone company in certain of our corporate administrative, facilities and support functions. From time to time, we may exclude from Standalone Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations actually would have been had we operated as a standalone company for the periods presented or to project our financial performance for any future period. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is based on available information, estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, although actual future results will differ from the amounts presented.

\ Notes Basis of Presentation Our combined financial statements for periods prior to our separation from Comcast ("the Separation") on January 2, 2026 were derived from Comcast's historical accounting records as if Versant operations had been conducted independently from Comcast, and reflect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses on a historical cost basis. The combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The historical financial statements were prepared using allocations and carve-out methodologies through December 31, 2025, using assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Accordingly, the combined financial statements herein for periods prior to the separation from Comcast may not be indicative of our future performance, do not necessarily include the actual expenses that would have been incurred by us, and may not reflect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we been a separate, standalone company during the historical periods presented. Numerical information is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts, unless otherwise noted. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to financial measures included in our combined financial statements, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined below. We provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the following pages. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Versant before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain other events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Versant before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any, and further adjusted to give effect to estimated incremental costs of commercial agreements with Comcast and estimated additional costs we expect to incur as a standalone company in certain of our corporate administrative, facilities and support functions. From time to time, we may exclude from Standalone Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations actually would have been had we operated as a standalone company for the periods presented or to project our financial performance for any future period. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is based on available information, estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, although actual future results will differ from the amounts presented. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Standalone Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. 2

\ Notes (Continued) Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued) Standalone Selling, General and Administrative expense is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted to give effect to estimated incremental costs of commercial agreements with Comcast and estimated additional costs we expect to incur as a standalone company in certain of our corporate administrative, facilities and support functions, and further adjusted to exclude the impact of transaction and transaction-related costs. Standalone Costs and Expenses, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization is defined as the aggregate amount of costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization adjusted to give effect to estimated incremental costs of commercial agreements with Comcast and estimated additional costs we expect to incur as a standalone company in certain of our corporate administrative, facilities and support functions, and further adjusted to exclude the impact of transaction and transaction-related costs. Standalone Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures and adjusted to give effect to estimated incremental costs of commercial agreements with Comcast, estimated additional costs we expect to incur as a standalone company in certain of our corporate administrative, facilities and support functions, estimated incremental capital expenditures we expect to incur as a standalone company, expected interest payments related to borrowings under the financing transactions entered into in connection with our separation from Comcast, and the related tax impacts. Net Debt represents long-term debt, including current portion, less cash and cash equivalents. Net Leverage is calculated as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months Standalone Adjusted EBITDA. Day 1 Net Leverage is based on long-term debt of $3 billion, cash and cash equivalents of $850 million and Standalone Adjusted EBITDA of $2.18 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025. 3
