Arizona Tribune - Luminar Media Group / Fortun Reports Record Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2026 / Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OTCID:LRGR), together with its subsidiaries Fortun Advance, LLC; Fortun Funding, LLC; Fortun Online, LLC and related affiliates (collectively, "Fortun"), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company previously reported preliminary operating metrics on January 20, 2026, highlighting a record fourth quarter and full year, with continued strong growth across its platform.

Full-Year 2025 Financial Highlights (compared to FY2024):

• Revenue: $5.6 million, up 542% compared to $866,000

• Operating income: $1.3 million compared to an operating loss of ($414,000)

• Net income: $1.1 million compared to a net loss of ($349,000)

Updated GAAP Presentation and Accounting Methodology

As part of the 2025 year-end financial reporting, Luminar Media Group has aligned its GAAP presentation with guidance from its auditors. This update reflects accounting treatment only and does not affect the Company's underlying operational performance or KPIs. All previously reported operational metrics, including gross funding volume, receivable cash deposits, ACH collections and deal activity, remain accurate and unchanged.

The updated treatment includes:

• Recognition of only ~32.8% of each dollar deposited as revenue, with 100% of expenses recognized upfront

• Recording of ~$1 million in bad debt expense on the P&L (non-cash, no actual write-offs; potential future income recognition opportunities)

• Deduction of 16.5% ($1.4M at the close of 2025) of outstanding Account receivables from "Business advances net" on the balance sheet as a bad debt allowance

• Classification of all outstanding premium over capital advanced as "deferred revenue" and subtracted from "Business Advances Net" on the Balance sheet (creating a lag in the growth of Accounts receivables)

• Internally accounts receivable grew from ~$3 million close of 2024 to ~$8.8 million close of 2025

Even with this conservative methodology, the Company remains net positive and profitable. This represents a one-time reset in GAAP reporting, not a change in business fundamentals, and will serve as the baseline going forward.

Yoel Damas, President of Luminar Media Group, commented, "2025 was a truly transformational and breakout year for the company. We delivered exceptional growth while scaling our platform at an accelerated pace, expanding our reach and delivering fast, flexible and data-driven financing solutions to small and medium-sized businesses nationwide. Our strategic investments in advanced analytics and automated underwriting are driving meaningful gains in efficiency and portfolio quality, enabling smarter, faster and more scalable funding decisions."

Juan M. Sese, CFO of Luminar Media Group said "We have significantly strengthened our operational discipline, refined our processes and built a platform designed to scale rapidly without compromising quality or control. Our commitment to transparency, tailored solutions and long-term customer relationships is resonating strongly in the market, fueling customer loyalty and expanding our footprint. As part of our year-end reporting, we have aligned our GAAP presentation with auditor guidance. While this represents a more conservative accounting treatment, it does not change the underlying strength of our business. Our operational KPIs remain fully intact, and we remain profitable under this methodology."

Mr. Damas added, "As we enter 2026, we are building on powerful momentum and a step-change in the scale of our business. We believe we are exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead and continue executing on our growth strategy. With technology, data and operational excellence at our core, we are excited about the path forward and confident in our ability to scale responsibly while delivering meaningful, long-term value."
