In our last call I spoke about our significant investment and commitment to original programming content.
I would now like to introduce my partner and President of the property Dermot Mccormack to provide a few more details on our original programming efforts.
Thank you, Rob and I'd like to thank you for your continued leadership and congratulate the team on what it's.
It's been a static part I would say that this quarter, we brought home the vision.
And live by lives, we enhance our flywheel and we brought it to life with groundbreaking life events.
We're building a portfolio of brands that all complement each other with synergies and original.
Not unlike what I saw in the early days of managing Viacom's digital portfolio, we were on a path to become a true media conglomerate built for new realities and the opportunities that exist in today's ever changing landscape.
One of the things I'm. Most excited about is the evolution of our original content IP and production capabilities, we are doubling down on our own proprietary events and franchises specifically in this quarter, we invested $15.5 million in developing and implementing new IP and content, which drove revenues in the current quarter.
Won't contribute to future revenues.
The past year. We have launched shows is that we believe has a chance to become valuable franchises going forward, including self made a new online talent competition.
And earlier this month, we launched a self made podcast position in audio competition to find the next big podcast Star podcast won the competition will be driven by fans and podcast ones panel of judges as they listened to see who will take the top prize a podcast and contract with podcast, one and a total package worth over $100000.
Including promotion across the network.
We've also launched the Lockdown awards, our celebration of live music and coming this fall we have a new edition called the breakout awards.
We've also brought the world it's not these tongue in cheek luck at the artist actors and nominees who Bucks now got award shows from the Grammys three Oscars hosted by the Ross Master himself Jeffrey Ross, We continue to grow our digital festivals music lives with two iterations in the last 18 months and another installment coming in September live from.
Las Vegas.
A lot of music series music lives on and live My life presents continued to expand and have been a really big hit with advertisers.
One of the few companies during Covid the broadcasting produced everything from our live music concerts and artist basement. So again.
I'm changing sports and music Mega events, and an NFL stadium.
And my experience in my career it is rare in a media company that you'd get to advance a new format.
But we really feel the social music in boxing event, we produced in Miami last quarter was a watershed moment credibly everyone took notice we brought together Influencers music sports in a way not seen before and we feel we have set the space to continue to lead the way and how this type of entertainment evolves, we have already announced the female.
The version of the new format called self made knockout.
Pay per view events that will feature a boxing icon headlined by women from social media music sports technology, and fashion with the Winter's buying for over $1 million and prizes.
Expect to be announcing a date and location for this event soon which we believe will be in the fourth quarter of the current calendar year.
We have been excited to see how these tentpole pay per view events supercharge, our flywheel from digital and physical ticket sales to sponsorship to subscriptions and merchandize sales stay tuned for more of these unique hybrid events to be added in the coming weeks and months.
Of significant importance as the exclusive partnership we have with Tesla truth that arrangement our life. Our life subscription is pre installed as the default radio service in every new Tesla car sold in America and live our lives is paid directly by Tesla for those subscriptions.
<unk> live App is also pre installed in 85 other automobiles as well as across major carriers, Verizon Sprint and T mobile, which allows slacker subscribers listen in their cars and on their mobile devices.
Previously previously mentioned that we see a significant opportunity to expand like by light Slacker radio subscription business into Europe and compete for the opportunity to become the default radio service for a number of European automakers are licensing dialog with the music labels continues and we hope to have some news on that front before.
Yes.
And finally types of this unique and honorable original content, we are extremely happy to see the combination of our advertising and sales forces close more $1 million deals than in any other time in our history as rfps continue to grow in size.
I would now like to hand, it over to our CFO, Mike One theory, who will review our Q1 results.
Thanks, Jeremy let me spend a few minutes to provide a brief overview of our fiscal 'twenty to Q1 results.
Consolidated revenue was a record $38.8 million up 269% year over year from $10.5 million in the Q1. Prior year. This increase in revenue is due to our successful acquisitions of podcast one in Cps, coupled with increases in pay per view and sponsorship revenue related to the social.
Pay per view events as well as our revenue associated with the production of the event.
We ended Q1 with 1.162 million paid subscribers. Please note that included in the total number as of June 30th or certain subscribers, which are subject to a contractual dispute.
We are currently not recognizing revenue.
This is the first quarter since the dispute arose in Q2 last year that our subscription revenue was up on a year over year basis.
The acquisitions of podcasts, one in Cps were accretive to our operating results enhanced our working capital position and provided diversification to our revenue base in Q1, our revenue was comprised of 23% subscription and 77% advertising sponsorship merchandising pay per view ticketing and events compared.
To 84% subscription and 16% and sponsorship licensing advertising and pay per view tickets from the prior year.
Contribution margin in the quarter was a record $7.8 million up 175% year over year from $2.8 million.
The year over year improvement was driven by our live events and related sponsorship revenue.
And the additions of podcast, one mcps, which resulted in a $5.7 million increase year over year.
This improvement was partially offset by a $700000 charge for additional music royalties as a result of a multiyear audit by one of the labels.
Adjusted operating loss in Q1 was $1.75 million compared to 55000 in prior year.
Note. The prior year quarter includes the benefit of various cost saving measures totaling $1.3 million that were implemented by the company. During the height of the COVID-19, pandemic, which were not in effect. During this quarter adjusted operating income for our operation segment was $1.2 million essentially flat year over year as the <unk>.
<unk> of the increased revenue from our live events and related sponsorship revenue was offset by the charge noted above related to the multi year music.
Royalty audit adjusted.
Adjusted operating losses related to Cps due to the seasonal nature of their business and the investments in content and marketing within podcast one in our life streaming business units, which totaled $2.2 million in the quarter.
Adjusted operating loss for corporate was $2.9 million, an increase of $1.7 million, which is primarily attributable to the prior year's austerity measures higher personnel and other public company costs, given the expansion of the company's operations on a year over year basis, and payroll taxes related to stock based.
<unk>.
Even though we've passed the one year anniversary of podcast, one acquisition and the six month anniversary of the Cps acquisition, we continue to look for areas of efficiencies and consolidation.
Back in March we announced the completion of our integrations, a podcast, one cps and react which we expected to generate over $3.4 million in annual savings. We have just implemented a series of additional measures that are expected to generate an additional $2.2 million in annual savings, bringing the total annual savings up to.
$5.6 million.
Of which approximately 800000 has been realized prior to June 30, with the remainder to flow through in future periods.
Turning to the balance sheet, we ended Q1 with cash of $24.7 million, including restricted cash of a 135000 up from the $18.8 million, we had a year ago.
The year over year increase was largely driven by net cash proceeds from financing activities of $6.2 million and $800 million or sorry, 800000 from net cash inflows from operations.
Offset by investing activities of approximately $1.1 million during the quarter.
Our networking capital deficit improved by $3.6 million during the quarter, which was the result of the forgiveness of $2.5 million of paper PPP loans received in the prior year and continued efforts to improve working capital efficiency of the remaining $1.1 million.
Our cash position as of August 11 was $18.6 million.
Lastly in June we entered into a revolving line of credit facility with East West Bank with a borrowing capacity of up to $7 million.
And an interest rate of prime plus <unk>, 5% in connection with this credit facility. The holders of the company's senior secured convertible notes agreed to extend the maturity date of their notes and subordinate their security interest in all of the Companys assets.
And with that let me hand, it back over to Rob.
Yes. So thank you guys and obviously, a terrific quarter, but will be more to come and really the excitement that Dermot was articulating.
With record labels, we extended our contracts with Sony Records.
Our balance sheet now and the strength than it is in relation to the labels. It's now time to expand globally.
Now time to expand other car companies. We're now in over 80 cars and they start to do more white label type deals like Tesla. So it's a really exciting time for the company. We're looking forward to our live events really starting to take off in October.
You can see as I said over 100 live events. It was really a special time for us as we lost substantial revenues for almost 18 months now as we come back to.
Adding that loud music, so I want to thank everyone I want to thank everyone for being supportive.
And sticking with this company through Covid and I'm really proud of my team and my management.
We haven't gone all the way down in line of what they've accomplished and what they built and I think we've gone from $7 million company. They now doing $38 million a quarter is really exciting. So thank you everyone. Thank you everyone I look forward to questions.
We will now begin the question and answer session to ask a question you May Press Star then one on the telephone keypad.
Thank you speaker fence speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys.
To withdraw your question. Please press Star then two.
The first question comes from Barry Sine with Spartan Capital Securities. Please go ahead.
Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen, and congratulations.
Question on social gloves, so presumably that drove the big surge in where a lot of the big surge in revenue that we saw if you could give us a little bit more breakdown on how that that revenue occurred and then I guess, we will see some of this in the Q later on but.
What the costs are that go with an event like that and the reason I ask you just reiterated that you have the fall event I guess it would be called self made a knockout and then you also have spring awakening equinox if we.
Look at social clubs, we analyzed that what you just reported would those upcoming events be comparable or are we looking at two more major events coming later on in the fiscal year that would be similar to what you just reported.
Well, yes, so spring awake spring awakening as always been.
We ask trophy property, right and does anywhere from $6 million to $10 million of revenues and we've just expanded and brought back into the city of Chicago. So fully expect that Theyre in and then we've already announced the second one so yes. The second one will be a female version of social gloves and.
What we've seen the traction is absolutely spectacular very similar reaction if not stronger reaction.
To the audience and the potential buyers of this and then fully expect theyre going to be many more social events like this white boxing is only one component of it what we built here is right. We built here as we built the franchise and as we go out now will match actually own the IP and this will be IP led by live so we couldn't be more excited.
We expect it to be extremely profitable and a lot of the hard work was done in the first of that.
And if you could help us understand looking at the consolidated numbers how.
How much of that was driven by social gloves, how what's the profitability of an event like that and again. The reason I ask is so I can.
I have some basis to forecast the upcoming events that you have.
Yeah. So we're not breaking down the exact numbers, but I would say that you can you can kind of deduct.
Mike If you want to jump in here, Yeah. We said, there's 136000 tickets assortments around $50 a ticket right add some sponsorship at some money from hard rock and you can basically come to pump to very close to the numbers.
And really start thinking about you know.
The success of this event rightly suggest a where the IP is going going forward right and how much of that hard work was done already in building. The first one because the production came out absolutely spectacular and so we're really excited to be an excellent you want to add anything to that Mike I think one other thing just to kind of point onto that.
Sure.
Especially you would like to just one you wanted to get back to the profitability of it and we wanted to make sure. We're very careful of not commenting on any specific items, but one of the things. We wanted to make sure that was very important to this is that it proved out the capabilities of our team and of our tech stack. So when Rob says this thing went off flawlessly.
Can imagine a 136000 tickets being sold the vast majority and I mean, the very vast majority of those all took place probably within the last eight hours before that event took place.
With a good portion of that taking place within the last couple of hours. So the fact that we were able to handle that volume flawlessly.
As a testament to the team and also to the investment that we've made in that tech stack as part of this event and so therefore I think it's a little unfair to comment on profitability on this one item when we were using it to really prove out the.
Capabilities of the team and the process itself.
Okay, and I guess there'll be a little more visibility when the Q comes out you'll you'll get a little break out there as well.
There'll be some yes, okay alright, that's my question I don't want to hog the call. Thank you.
The next question comes from Brian Kesseler Kids Lang Lang Killinger from Alliance Global Partners. Please go ahead.
Great. Thanks, so much.
Clearly.
The revenue is fantastic with social gloves, and I agree it was groundbreaking but I guess given the low gross margin.
The adjusted EBITDA loss, which I don't think I would've expected with $38 million of revenue.
One of the lessons learned that you can take away. So that you become profitable when these events happen in the future and you put up these high watermark revenue numbers and what could drive that gross margin to be maybe lower than what it looks like the street would've thought.
Michael I'll take that yeah, well, let me, let me kind of talk through kind of maybe what I'll do is I'll talk of it on a on a year over year basis, and maybe look at it also a quarter sequential.
From a consolidated overall.
Operating income perspective.
So for the year.
When we look back at this quarter.
We overcame a couple of things. So one you have the addition of Cps and podcast one.
The combination of those results are about $1 million in negative operating loss and thats really kind of geared towards the seasonal nature of their business.
With the plus the investments that we've been making as we've commented before about $2.2 million in content and marketing on top of that to really drive the back half of the year and into the future into fiscal 'twenty three.
When it comes to those units.
Especially given it's a retailer there's a huge seasonal impact to their results and so you expect operating loss in what would be this Q1 and Q2 with a huge profit margin to come through in Q3, which is the calendar year end, which is the holiday sales period.
In addition, we have the royalty audit, which hit us for about 700000.
Which was completely unexpected and we had to come over the year over year, $1.3 million and austerity measures that we implemented last year, which was really <unk>.
Merrily around 50% pay cuts taken by all employees and those 50% pay cuts went into effect during this quarter.
So there is some headwind versus the year over year and then we picked up some.
As a result of the <unk>.
The operations are from the Cps and podcast one perspective.
But if you look at that that really kind of gets you back to.
What would have been in my eyes, and I don't want to do pro forma and math for a whole lot of people to get in myself with M D.
Reg issue.
But you could get back to a more reasonable same store model.
Which would you gave your profitability well north of $3 million.
Okay, and then my only follow up the $2.2 million in content and marketing spend.
Sounds like those are expenses that ran through the P&L in the first quarter are those recurring and you'll have.
2 million.
Plus of quarterly increase expenses for maybe what you would've thought at the beginning of the year.
Just how did that play out thank you.
I would tell you that that's a slight increase.
Quarter sequential in Q1, we had about $1.2 million.
Those expenses and remember and this is no different than any other media company at this point in time, Viacom if you listen to their earnings same similar story with Comcast.
World start to reopen back up and people are investing back in content and that's what we want to make sure that we're there front in line to be able to maintain the growth of this company accordingly.
And I think that's part of the reason further around the whole content strategy is why we wanted to make sure that Dermot joined this call. So Dermot the person who is responsible for all of our content was able to give his perspectives on it.
And Mike Let me jump in on the question.
Question here, which is <unk>.
From a background of working by places like the dnas and huge tadpoles incorporation of drives year round business.
When you do an inaugural event, especially one no one in the world than we've ever done before nobody's ever even attempted that.
On a level not a lot and you asked about what did we learn we learned.
And some production efficiencies in marketing.
Apply next and why we lead the way now is because we're the first ones to do those learnings. So this was a lot about learnings and we're going to apply them.
In key areas as we go forward.
Great. Thanks, so much.
As a reminder, if you have a question please press star one.
Next question comes from Jeremy Lou of D. A Davidson. Please go ahead.
Hey, Thanks for taking my questions. So I have one question and one follow up first question from your vantage point, what percentage of festivals are expected to return to have having a live event in 2021 and 2022 versus 2019.
Well, we can't we can't you know, it's a very it's a very tricky question. Obviously, the varian is kicking back in Brighton scary.
A G. Just came out with today that you must be vaccinated to go in but the exciting part is in the United States is.
Half the country has been vaccinated and this could be way higher soon right. So I don't think they're going to shut them down I think very few who are going to get shut down I think they're just going to put implement rules in place that is going to protect people and make it a safer environment and so we don't we don't see a lot of Telltale signs in fact, we were on the phone with a leading government.
People on Chicago, and they have no intention of shutting the current events down in Chicago and as you know Lollapalooza just happening which is the biggest event in Chicago. So we're pretty excited about it.
They are all going to be some cost that occur with COVID-19.
And as you know we pushed spring awakening of October so.
You're going to have to be smart about it we're going to have to.
And we're in a unique way, but I couldn't tell you exactly what percentage I don't think many in the United States are going to get shut down.
Okay. Thanks, and then Rob you were early in understanding that consumers would re bundle their content rather than limit themselves to one or one to three asphalt services. So what are the implications of this re bundling for live my life.
Well as you know, we hired Jpmorgan as our bankers too.
To explore all options for the company.
There's been a lot of people circling around right. We have a lot of interesting cams within this company you have six of them that any one of them could be a potential candidate to be.
Wire the whole business one of the divisions to spin out of division right. So I think we're right in the center of the storm.
I think my team has just done a brilliant job of surviving and building right to where live is coming back and I. Just think live is going to really enhance that.
Why wheel and give us the opportunity to prove just like sports did 30 years ago, it's really not that where that smart. We just we just we just started this early and built it and built it around duration right. When you build around duration and if you've got everyone had an opportunity to watch when we get it social gloves and watch what we've done at rock in Rio for years, It's the best production in the World.
And when you're doing that everybody in content is looking for content. Our average cost of content is still under $20000 an hour right at that cost per hour.
We're really compelling partner.
<unk> a to distribute our content as you can see by our new Facebook deals right two of them one Facebook to stream all of our pay per view events number two for Facebook to take them on our podcast as they build their audio platform.
<unk> announced our podcasts across Samsung, but we're going to keep growing that 294 million number right many platforms around the globe.
Great. Thanks for taking my questions.
Thank you.
Seeing that there are no further questions I would like to turn the conference back over to Rob Allen CEO and chairman for closing remarks.
Thank you everyone.
As a closing remark.
My history, when I started I wanted dotcom as you broke $100 million in revenues, you're starting to get very different institutional holdings, you've got a lot of interest around the company.
We didn't plan to sell it at.
At that time, when we sold it to Barry Diller, there that active corp. The same thing with digital turbine Intuit as you break $100 million of revenues. It's now trading at trading at close to $8 billion valuation I feel the same thing here, where the momentum is growing we have a world class team with World Class management team, we have a world class board professionals that are built tens.
Billions of dollars of companies. This is the most exciting company I've ever been involved and it's also the most fun company I've ever been involved with our great partners Great team here that anyone's story yesterday, Chris Wright, who joined our board was just named the head of all of Michael Jordan brands at Nike, we're going to keep bringing great people together, we're going to keep focused on <unk>.
First Super fans, if we continue to grow that right in five years will be a $10 million plus subscribers and will have a $1 billion plus in revenue. So thank you everyone and thank you for spending the time and I appreciate everyone's support.
The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation you may now disconnect.
Okay.
