JumpTV Q3 2007 Revenue Tops $2 Million
TORONTO--(Marketwire - November 13, 2007) - JumpTV Inc. ("JumpTV" or the
"Company") (TSX: JTV) (AIM: JTV), a leader in broadcasting international
television and sports over the Internet, today announced quarterly results and
selected financial metrics for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007 revenue was US$2,004,056 up from
US$1,175,924 in the second quarter 2007 and from US$534,671 in the same period a
year ago. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of the Broadband
Network Division of XOS Technologies Inc. and Cycling TV Limited and the
increase in subscribers to JumpTV's international channels. Of the US$2 million
in revenue approximately US$287,000 was advertising-related revenue. XOS results
were consolidated as of September 1, 2007 and CyclingTV as of August 1, 2007.
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was US$6,466,061 or
US$0.13 per basic and diluted share compared to US$6,514,301 or US$0.13 per
basic and diluted share in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and compared to
US$6,494,411 or US$0.23 per basic and diluted share for the same period a year
ago. The net loss was $4,745,314 excluding non cash items during the quarter of
approximately US$686,113 in stock-based compensation and other compensation
payments and $1,034,634 that primarily relates to the amortization of tangible
and intangible assets. In addition, the Company used approximately $870,000 of
cash in the period to acquire its own stock.
As of September 30, 2007 JumpTV International had approximately 305 channel
partnerships comprising its international offerings compared to 225 channels as
of September 30, 2006 and 302 channels as of June 30, 2007. The Company signed
additional channels in Q3 2007 and continued its strategy of selectively culling
channels in the third quarter in order to focus its efforts on better performing
channels. The Company intends to continue to cull certain channels from its
platform over time to reduce costs, optimize revenues and better allocate its
resources.
As of September 30, 2007 JumpTV Sports had approximately 175 official and
exclusive broadcast relationships with U.S. colleges, universities, conferences
and professional sports teams including programs within the SEC, Big 12 and Big
10 NCAA Division I Conferences.
The approximate number of subscribers as of September 30, 2007 was 86,000 up
from 29,968 as at June 30, 2007. As at November 12, 2007 the Company had
approximately 94,000 subscribers.
The following metrics for churn, SAC and ARPU are based solely on JumpTV
International's content offerings as the Company does not have sufficient
history to accurately disclose these metrics for the recently acquired business:
-- Churn for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 13.2%, down
0.8% from 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
-- Subscriber acquisition costs (SAC) were US$14.49, a decrease of 57%
compared to US$33.69 in the second quarter of 2007. An increased focus on
search engine optimization (SEO), targeted event-driven marketing campaigns
and a reduction in marketing expenses contributed to the decrease.
-- Average monthly revenue per user (ARPU) was US$11.54 in the quarter
ending September 30, 2007, a 1% increase from US$11.42 in the second
quarter of 2007.
In addition, the Company notes that the average duration of a user session on
JumpTV International channels was approximately 50 minutes during the quarter.
JumpTV Executive Chairman G. Scott Paterson commented, "JumpTV's third quarter
was the most important in our history as we completed the strategic acquisition
of XOS (now JumpTV Sports) and we furthered the momentum of our free-to-consumer
ad supported model in the U.S. Importantly, our traffic metrics all showed
strong growth and our premium content showed encouraging subscriber growth as
well."
The Company reported the following traffic related average monthly metrics in
connection with overall user activity on JumpTV.com, our Jumper affiliates and
on JumpTV Sports-managed sites but not including third party distributors of
JumpTV content such as AOL.com and Terra.com:
-- Stream views -- 4.6 million average per month in Q3 up from 2.6
million average per month in Q2
-- Minutes viewed -- 85.4 million average per month in Q3 up from 62.9
million average per month in Q2
-- Page Views -- 66.0 million average per month in Q3 up from 46.2
million average per month in Q2
-- Unique visitors -- 6.8 million average per month in Q3 up from 4.6
million average per month in Q2
-- Ad impressions -- 116.9 million average per month in Q3 up from 22.2
million average per month in Q2
The Company reports the following recent developments for JumpTV:
1. We secured rights to additional cross-cultural content including channels in
Asia, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe, sporting properties such
as the South American World Cup qualifying matches and the BIG EAST conference.
2. We signed and implemented distribution partnerships with Tiscali UK, which
currently offers approximately 170 JumpTV channels, MySpace and Veoh Networks.
Additionally, in many of our distribution partnerships we are starting to add
emphasis, in addition to our live streams, on short-form entertaining video
clips and highlights of major sporting events.
3. We have now deployed approximately 140 'Jumpers', our API media player, on
multiple sites around the world including half of these on our channel partners
own sites and we have a queue of interest from several hundred other websites.
4. We brought on a Head of Global Ad Sales who is building out his team and
aggressively engaging the ad community.
5. We further invested in and improved our global content delivery network
(CDN).
6. We made significant progress in integrating operations, marketing and finance
with the recently acquired Broadband Network Division of XOS Technologies Inc.
("JumpTV Sports").
Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, JumpTV President and COO and a member of the Board of
Directors said, "From an operational perspective we are better positioned today
than ever before to realize the true potential of JumpTV."
Jordan Banks, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am truly excited to have
joined JumpTV. There is an exciting confluence of trends that are uniquely
positioning JumpTV in the IPTV marketplace. The increasing penetration of
broadband, an accelerated acceptance of the internet as a video delivery
platform and the increasing thirst for compelling sports, entertainment and
political content from around the world is rapidly building a passionate and
loyal audience."
