- During the quarter, the Company paid
down nearly $8.1 million in non-recourse debt related to the
Digital Cinema business, for the year $15.0 million
- The Company announced plans to
significantly extend the availability of its fast-growing OTT
services by supporting Google’s Chromecast and Android TV
Platforms, as well as Amazon Fire TV for the first time, expanding
reach by over 60+ million potential consumers
- The Company’s OTT group has focused on
completing a substantial upgrade of technical and distribution
infrastructure to support three imminent deals with major MVPDs and
Telcos, which are expected to go live in the second half of Fiscal
Year 2018
- The Company announced the launch of
Dove KIDS, a 24/7 Programmed Children’s Network featuring
children’s movies, television series, animation, and educational
programming geared at kids 5-12 years of age
- The Company closed a significant
distribution deal to embed our OTT Networks with a "top three" CE
Device manufacturer. The deal will afford us critical placement
usually only available to companies like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu,
and reflects the rising consumer value manufacturers, telcos, and
MSOs are placing on our portfolio of channels
- The Company launched The Dove Channel
on the Amazon Fire TV platform, which according to eMarketer, has a
reach of over 39 million viewers a month
- The Company made the first
international launch of their OTT business by bringing the Dove
channel into Canada on iOS and Android, and subsequent to quarter

- Subsequent to quarter end, the Company
announced Dove Channel is now available on Android TV. The
launch expands Dove’s presence on Android TV’s fast growing
ecosystem of connected televisions and set top boxes, with an
estimated install base of over 28 million devices
- Last week, the Company announced it has
rolled out a 24/7 channel of its OTT service CONtv on the popular
social video service Twitch. The new Twitch channel
(www.twitch.tv/CONtv) reflects Cinedigm’s ongoing commitment to
redefining the television viewing experience by providing viewers
with both a “lean-back” and a curated on-demand option
“We are very pleased to have completed the game-changing Bison
transaction on November 1, 2017,” said Chris McGurk, Cinedigm
Chairman and CEO. “Bison’s investment has already strengthened our
balance sheet and provided capital for growth. Looking ahead, we
plan to further enhance our balance sheet, reducing high interest
debt and annual interest expense while increasing liquidity.
Strategically, the Bison investment will be the catalyst to create
a unique competitive position for Cinedigm as a key independent
content studio in both North America and China, the world’s
largest and fastest growing major entertainment markets,
respectively. Cinedigm will be strongly positioned to take
advantage of the booming OTT business, the fastest growing
entertainment distribution channel.”
“With the Bison closing now behind us, we can turn our attention
to optimizing and leveraging our new strategic relationship with
them in China, the U.S. and across other international
territories,” said Jeffrey Edell, Chief Financial Officer. “Our
much improved balance sheet with greatly reduced debt leverage now
positions us nicely to take advantage of content and distribution
opportunities worldwide as we move from a seasonally slow period
into our highest sales quarter. We look forward to further
enhancements to our balance sheet as we plan on reducing higher
interest loans to continue freeing up additional cash flows to
invest in our various business initiatives while we continue
aggressively managing our cost structure.”
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company for the periods
presented to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, other income, net, goodwill impairment, litigation
related expenses and recoveries, stock-based compensation and
expenses, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses, net,
and certain other items. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation
G, the Company has provided a reconciliation in the tables attached
to this release of loss from continuing operations calculated in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted
EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. The Company calculated and communicated Adjusted EBITDA
in the tables because the Company's management believes it is of
importance to investors and lenders by providing additional
information with respect to the performance of its fundamental
business activities. Management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it
believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net loss as
an indicator of operating performance. Management also believes
that Adjusted EBITDA is an industry-wide financial measure that is
useful both to management and investors when evaluating the
Company's performance and comparing our performance with the
performance of our competitors. Management also uses adjusted
EBITDA for planning purposes, as well as to evaluate the Company's
performance because it believes that adjusted EBITDA more
accurately reflects the Company's results, as it excludes certain
items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that management
believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance.
The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure
and not a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternative to operating or net loss as an
indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from
operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as
determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity.
In addition, adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in
certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes
that can affect cash flows. The Company's calculation of Adjusted
EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this
measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should
not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating
measure of net income (loss). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not
take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well
as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Management
does not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only
in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
