Exhibit 99.1

PeerStream, Inc. Renews Strategic Focus on Core Video Apps and Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2019 Results

AdoptsStreamlined Plan of Operation, Right Sizes Spending and Reduces Total Expenses

NEW YORK, NY, March 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- PeerStream, Inc. (“PeerStream,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) (OTCQB: PEER), a leading communications software innovator that powers multimedia social applications and developer of secure communications software, today announced financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of PeerStream, commented, “During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company adopted a streamlined plan of operations, whereby we reduced operating expenses to better align with our revenue. Even after accounting for one-time severance costs incurred in the fourth quarter, we decreased total costs and expenses by over 13%, or $2.7 million, compared to the prior year, with most of the decrease occurring in the fourth quarter. We intend to continue making further sustainable cost reductions to right-size operations and reduce cash consumption. Our secure communications business has been costly to operate and had a long sales cycle with no revenue generated in the past twelve months. Accordingly, the Board of Directors decided to pursue the monetization of the secure communications business, either through residual ownership or sale. Based on the Board’s decision, in February 2020, we entered into an asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell substantially all of the assets related to our secure communications business, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. We believe that the decision to try to monetize our secure communications business, coupled with a streamlined plan of operation, positions us well for 2020.

Although we cannot predict the impact that the recent outbreak of coronavirus will have on our business or results of operations in 2020, to date, our core multimedia social applications have been able to support the increased demand we have experienced. PeerStream continues to serve as a form of safe and entertaining communication during this global pandemic and in order to help those affected in hardest hit countries will continue to offer some of our group video conferencing services free of charge.

PeerStream began 2020 focused intently on the opportunities for growth of our core video applications, Paltalk and Camfrog. At the end of 2019, we launched our consumer application platform strategy, under which we plan to co-brand our video chat applications and promote them in partnership with large third-party communities. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we reached our first agreement with a well-known launch partner that has over 30 million active worldwide users who has agreed to a trial of our consumer application platform. We’re also excited to be the first company to integrate SEC Reg A+ qualified Props tokens into our applications via a partnership with YouNow, Inc. We began distributing Props tokens through Camfrog in February 2020 and we expect to launch Props distributions through Paltalk in the second quarter of 2020.

Looking ahead, we plan to continue to advance our product offerings by implementing enhancements to our live video chat applications, as well as other features that focus on new user acquisition, retention and monetization. With solid cash flow from our core video chat applications, a good cash position and a clean balance sheet, we believe that PeerStream has a sturdy foundation to grow our core business in a cost efficient manner as we continue to pursue profitability and organic growth,” concluded Mr. Katz.

2019 Business Highlights:


During the year ended December 31, 2019, we executed key components of our objectives:

launched<br>our consumer application platform strategy, under which we plan to co-brand our video chat applications and promote them in partnership<br>with third-party communities, with the expectation of entering into revenue sharing arrangements with potential partners. During<br>the fourth quarter, we reached agreement with a launch partner with 30 million monthly active users who has agreed to a trial<br>of our consumer application platform;
decreased<br> our operating expenses through a streamlined plan of operations by over 13%, or $2.7<br> million, for the year, which includes reductions in sales and marketing expenses of over<br> 41%, or approximately $747.4 thousand, and reductions in general and administrative expenses<br> of over 19%, or $1.5 million. These reductions were offset by one-time severance costs<br> of $0.3 million recorded in the fourth quarter;
--- ---
launched<br> our partnership with YouNow in the Props Developer Network, which, enables us to distribute<br> YouNow’s Props tokens to our application end users for anticipated loyalty and<br> retention benefits;

2019 Full Year Financial Highlights:


Total<br> revenue was $15.3 million compared to $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018,<br> a 25% decline, which was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in revenue recognized<br> under the ProximaX Agreement and a $2.9 million decrease in revenue related to our video<br> properties;
Subscription<br> revenue declined by $2.9 million, or 20%, to $11.4 million, compared to $14.3 million<br> in the year ended December 31, 2018, principally as a result of a decrease in virtual<br> gift purchases and active subscribers;

Net<br> loss from continuing operations was approximately $8.9 million, an increase of $6.9 million<br> as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.0 million for<br> the year ended December 31, 2018, which was driven by the decrease of $5.0 million in<br> revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019 and a non-cash charge of $6.8 million related<br> to goodwill impairment and was partially offset by a reduction of $2.7 million in expenses<br> compared to the prior year;

The increase<br> was also driven by a decrease of $2.6 million in revenue for the quarter ended December<br> 31, 2019 and a non-cash charge of $6.8 million related to goodwill impairment, which<br> was partially offset by a reduction of $1.6 million in expenses;

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics


The Company has provided in this release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and other key metrics, including active subscribers and subscription bookings, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude net loss from discontinued operations, interest income, gain on the sale of dating applications, income tax expense (benefit) from discontinued operations, income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations, depreciation and amortization expense, goodwill impairment, impairment loss on digital tokens and stock-based compensation expense. Active subscribers means users of the Company’s consumer applications that have prepaid a fee, redeemed credits or received an upgrade from another user as a gift for current unlocked application features such as enhanced voice and video access, elevated status in the community or unrestricted communication on our applications and whose subscription period has not yet expired. The Company calculates subscription bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized during the period.

Management uses these financial metrics internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these financial metrics in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes these financial metrics are useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted<br>EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to<br>be replaced or for new capital expenditures;
Adjusted<br> EBITDA does not reflect our working capital requirements;
--- ---
Adjusted<br> EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;
--- ---
Adjusted<br> EBITDA does not reflect the impairment loss on digital tokens;
--- ---
Adjusted<br> EBITDA does not reflect the gain on the sale of our dating applications or our loss or<br> income tax expense from discontinued operations; and
--- ---
Other<br>companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative<br>measure.
--- ---

Because of these limitations, you should consider these financial metrics along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
