Kustom

Entertainment, Inc. Reports Significant Financial Improvements for Fiscal Year 2025 and Files Annual Report on Form 10-K

Company

Highlights $11.9 Million Improvement in Net Loss, Strategic Divestiture of Non-Core Assets, and Forbes Recognition for TicketSmarter

OVERLAND

PARK, KS – April 13, 2026 – Kustom Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: KUST) (“Kustom” or the “Company”),

a leader in live entertainment and digital ticketing, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31,

2025. The Company also confirmed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

2025

marked a transformative year for Kustom, characterized by a sharp reduction in net losses, the successful divestiture of non-core business

segments, and a concentrated strategic pivot toward the $100 billion global live entertainment market.

Financial

Highlights for Fiscal Year 2025

● Revenue

Growth: Total revenues from continuing operations rose to approximately $13,755,000, an increase

of $235,000 year-over-year.

● Operating

Efficiency: Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses improved by $2,275,000

year-over-year to approximately $12,230,000 in 2025. This improvement was achieved despite

a one-time, non-cash charge of $2,535,000 for goodwill and intangible asset impairment during

2025.

● Non-Operating

Income: Non-operating income increased by $11,440,000 year over year. This was driven primarily

by a $4,575,000 improvement in the fair value of warrant derivative liabilities and a $2,715,000

reduction in interest expense.

● Bottom

Line Improvement: Net loss from continuing operations improved by approximately $11,945,000

to $5,955,000 compared to $17,900,000 for the prior fiscal year.

● Balance

sheet: Total stockholders’ equity increased $11.4 million and net working capital position

improved by $17.9 million year over year.

Strategic

Pivot & Asset Divestitures

Kustom

is successfully executing its strategy to exit legacy business lines to focus exclusively on entertainment and proprietary ticketing.

● The

Company recently changed its name to Kustom Entertainment, Inc. further emphasizing its new

strategy and focus.

● Revenue

Cycle Management (RCM): The Company closed the sale of its medical billing RCM business effective

January 1, 2026. This segment accounted for losses of $1,405,000 in 2025 and $3,820,000 in

2024.

● Legacy

Video Solutions: Kustom has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

to sell its legacy video solutions division to Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU). If finalized,

the transaction is expected to be valued between $6.0 million and $8.5 million, further streamlining

Kustom’s balance sheet.

Forbes

Recognition for TicketSmarter

February 6, 2026, Forbes Advisor named TicketSmarter a “Best Resale Site for Tickets.” The expert review specifically lauded

the platform’s:

● Pricing

Transparency: Clear communication of total costs, including fees, prior to checkout.

● Buyer

Protections: A 100% Ticket Guarantee ensuring valid tickets or full refunds.

● Seller-Friendly

Terms: Commissions as low as 10% for returning sellers.

● Massive

Reach: Listing visibility across thousands of websites via partner networks.

“We

are honored to receive this recognition from Forbes Advisor, which serves as a powerful validation of our fan-first philosophy,”

said Stanton Ross, CEO of Kustom Entertainment. “As we continue our strategic pivot to focus exclusively on live events and proprietary

ticketing, recognitions like this underscore the value TicketSmarter provides. We remain committed to providing a secure, transparent,

and seamless experience for the 125,000+ events we support across North America.”

2026
