Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OTCID:LRGR) ($0.35; $15.7M market cap) announced FY 2025 results:

FY 2025 sales of $5.6 million vs. $866,000 in the prior year
FY 2025 EPS: $0.01 vs. loss of $(0.00) in the prior year
GAAP update recognizes 32.8% of deposits as revenue with 100% expenses upfront, reducing reported revenue.

Management Commentary:

"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."

"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."

Our Quick Take:

FY2025 revenue was below the 9-month 2025 number of $5.7M, due to accounting changes they implemented at the request of their auditors.

This most likely means that LRGR overstated its 9M 2025 numbers and indicates poor internal controls. This was the change that most likely led to the revenue restatement:

“Recognition of only 32.8% of each dollar deposited as revenue, with 100% of expenses recognized upfront.”

The biggest risk in a LRGR-type business is customer default risk, obviously one that the auditor feels strongly about. However, it appears that the accounting change may be in-line with industry standards, something we’ll look into.

Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OOTC:LRGR) ($0.41; $18.4M market cap) announced a financing initiative to support platform expansion through potential non-dilutive credit facilities:

The company engaged a consultant to evaluate non-dilutive financing structures using cash compensation with no equity compensation.
The company is seeking a potential multi-million-dollar line of credit to expand revenue-based financing and merchant cash advance originations.
The company is in underwriting with two prospective credit providers and preliminary discussions with additional institutions.
Management said a credit facility could increase originations without equity dilution and support a repeatable funding model.
The company said any facility would complement its existing funding strategy with non-dilutive operating-level capital.
Management said financing costs would typically be serviced through cash flows from additional advances funded through the facility itself.
The initiative does not change the company’s broader capital markets strategy or SEC review process for its confidential draft registration statement.
The company said there is no assurance a credit facility will be finalized or available on acceptable terms.

Management Commentary:

"Because capital is the core product in our funding business, expanding access to efficient non-dilutive credit sources could significantly enhance our ability to scale our platform while preserving our equity structure," said **Juan M. Sese, Chief Financial Officer of Luminar Media Group. "We believe this type of financing, if secured on acceptable terms, could allow us to increase originations and serve more small businesses while remaining aligned with our long-term growth strategy."

Our Quick Take:

It’s great to hear management is exploring credit facilities to fund its operations. One of the risks that we highlighted with LRGR was dilution due to the confidential S1 they filed on December 19, 2025. Additionally, the remaining convertible debt and preferred shares outstanding are still an issue that could result in significant dilution.

Management Commentary:

"The fourth quarter concluded a transformational year for Luminar Media Group," said Yoel Damas, President.

"Our preliminary operating metrics demonstrate the strength and scalability of our platform, as well as the sustained demand for transparent, data-driven revenue-based financing solutions. Meaningful growth in funding volume and cash collections reflects our disciplined approach to portfolio construction and risk-adjusted returns. As we end the year with a record funding month and enter 2026, we believe the momentum we have established positions us well to continue scaling responsibly and executing on the significant opportunities ahead."

"The growth we achieved in 2025 reflects a step-change in the scale of our business compared to 2024," said Juan Sese, Vice President of Finance.

"Across the year, we meaningfully expanded funding volume and cash collections while maintaining a disciplined approach to portfolio quality and capital deployment. This year-over-year progress demonstrates improved operating leverage and increasing efficiency in our platform, providing a strong financial base as we enter 2026."

Our Quick Take:

Luminar Media Group is showing strong momentum, with record funding volumes and receivable collections in 2025. However, key risks remain unresolved: the company has provided no details on its confidential S-1 filing, and the CEO holds highly dilutive preferred shares that could materially impact common shareholders. Until these issues are clarified, we remain cautious despite impressive operational growth.

Call to Action - Adding Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OOTC:LRGR) to Run to $1 Model Portfolio

As indicated as a potential action in our 12/21/2025 Sunday Weekly Wrapup, we are now adding Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OOTC:LRGR) to our Run To $1 Model Portfolio. Please understand we are still in the early process of due diligence, and this is a speculative move.

Furthermore, as discussed below, please understand that there’s significant “price risk” in the near term because we don’t know what the terms of a likely imminent financing the company is probably pursuing will be. The stock has had some pretty wild price swings in recent trading sessions - as low as $0.35 to as high as $0.69.

In our Skull Session Chat, you can learn about some of the positive developments going on at the company. Given the bullish undercurrents, some caveats still exist.

Aside from certain risks associated with a revenue financing business (e.g, how the company will perform in bad economic times), there are capital structure issues, although the company has already taken steps to reduce potential dilution.

First, the company has $2M in convertible debt that will convert under two scenarios:

If the company does not pay back the loan in two years (April - August 2027), the loan will automatically convert at a 50% discount to the 10-day average of the stock price. Although the company will have a year to pay that debt upon the two-year trigger. If this happened today, this would result in diluted shares of around 80 million
In the second scenario, if the company uplists, the loan will still convert at a 50% discount. Since the stock may have to get to $4.00 (naturally or via a reverse split) for an uplist, the dilution under this scenario would only be of around 1 million shares and would result in diluted shares of around 62 million. However, if a reverse split is used to achieve the $4.00 uplist threshold, the total number of shares outstanding would decrease, which would affect the dilution percentage of the loan conversion. As we know from the recent skull session, management seems confident they will uplist.

The second capital structure issue is the preferred shares:

LRGR has 10,400 preferred shares owned by Yoel Damas (president), with each share being convertible to 0.1% of the common shares outstanding. This means that if these shares are converted into common shares, they could cause significant dilution unless the terms are restructured.

This is highly toxic and definitely a risk to watch out for, but Yoel already owns a majority of the company, and we get the sense he is very sensitive to dilution.

So, our hope is that he will restructure the preferred terms. In fact, if the company does uplist, we estimate Yoel will own at least 61% of the company, meaning that a “loss of control” issue seems minimal and thus there would be no need for the preferred stock.

The third issue is financing risk:

On December 19, 2025, LRGR announced a Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement (DRS) on Form S-1. Since the document is confidential, we have no idea regarding the number of shares that may or will be issued.
