TORONTO (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."
