Positive
Revenue Comparison Analysis: Cineverse reported total revenues of $13.3 million, which compares to $13.0 million last quarter, and $27.9 million in the prior-year period.
Operating Margin Improvement: We increased our direct operating margin to 59% from 48%.
SG&A Cost Reduction: We decreased our SG&A costs by $2.7 million or 30%.
Subscription Revenue Growth: Subscription-based revenues increased 13% to $3.4 million driven by the continued success of our enthusiast streaming services.
Subscriber Count Growth: Our overall subscriber count has reached approximately 1.4 million subscribers, a growth of 30% year-over-year, and up 11% over the prior quarter.
Negative
Revenue Decline Analysis: Cineverse reported total revenues of $13.3 million, which fell down 36% over the prior quarter that was driven by the expansion and optimization of our enthusiast subscription revenues, but was offset by the lack of a comparable title to Terrifier 2 in the quarter, and then on top of that, our planned portfolio optimization efforts to reduce low margin channels.
Subscriber Growth Surge: Subscription revenues saw an increase of $3.4 million, which is up 13% over the last year. Our overall subscriber count has reached approximately 1.4 million subscribers, a growth of 30% year-over-year, and up 11% over the prior quarter. This was predominantly due to the growth of subscribers during the quarter on Dove and our Colt film service, Midnight Pulp.
Advertising Revenue Decline: Advertising-based revenues dipped to $4.1 million, a decrease of 31%. This decline is in line with comments made by Christian Mark coming from channel portfolio optimization.
December Advertising Trends: We also saw a lighter-than-anticipated December after robust October and November. And we believe this is due to a strategic shift by brands and agencies in open market place for programmatic advertising, with campaigns now ending far earlier in the month than in prior years.
Negative Cash Flow Analysis: During the quarter, our cash flow used in operations was negative $3.1 million, of which $1.9 million was related to investments in our content portfolio via advanced and/or minimum guaranteed payments, the largest being for Terrifier 3. For the last six months, our cash flow used in operations was negative $105,000 when excluding our content portfolio spend, showing just how close we are to being sustainably cash flow positive.
