Loop Media, Inc. ("Loop Media" or "our" or the "Company") (NYSE
American: LPTV), a leading multichannel streaming CTV platform that
provides curated music videos, sports, news, premium entertainment
channels and digital signage for businesses, reports financial and
operating results for its 2024 fiscal third quarter ended June 30,
2024.
2024 Fiscal Third Quarter (June 30, 2024) Financial
Results
Summary Fiscal Q3 2024 vs. Fiscal Q3 2023
- Revenue in Q3 was $4.4 million, compared to $5.7 million.
- Net loss was $(5.5) million or $(0.07) per share, compared to a
loss of $(7.9) million or $(0.14).
- Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure defined below)
was $(2.2) million, compared to $(3.7) million.
- Gross profit was $0.9 million, compared to $1.8 million.
- Gross margin was 20.9%, compared to 31.8%.
- As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 30,486 quarterly active
units ("QAUs") operating on its Owned and Operated ("O&O")
Platform, compared to 34,898 QAUs as of June 30, 2023.
- As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately 51,000
screens across its Partner Platforms, compared to approximately
37,000 as of June 30, 2023.
In the 2024 fiscal third quarter, revenue decreased
approximately 23% to $4.4 million compared to $5.7 million for the
same period in fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a
challenging ad market environment in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2024 due to one of the largest ad demand participants changing
their terms of business with ad publishers, including us, which
resulted in a material negative impact on the Company’s ad demand
partner revenue.
Gross profit in the 2024 fiscal third quarter was $0.9 million
compared to $1.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. Gross
margin was 20.9% in the 2024 fiscal third quarter compared to 31.8%
for the same period in fiscal 2023. The decrease in margin rate was
primarily driven by decreased revenue.
Total sales, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses
(excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization,
impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and restructuring
costs) in the 2024 fiscal third quarter were $4.1 million, a
decrease of $2.2 million, or 35%, from $6.3 million for the same
period in fiscal 2023. This decrease in SG&A expenses was
primarily due to reductions in headcount, marketing costs, and
professional and administration fees. As a result of the
cost-cutting measures that the Company has undertaken in fiscal
year 2024, the Company has realized a quarter-on-quarter reduction
in SG&A expenses of $1.6 million, or 28%, from $5.7 million in
the second quarter ended March 31, 2024, to $4.1 million in the
third quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $(5.5) million
or $(0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of $(7.9) million or
$(0.14) per share for the same period in fiscal 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $(2.2)
million compared to $(3.7) million for the same period in fiscal
2023.
On June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $1.5 million
compared to $2.2 million on March 31, 2024. The decrease was
primarily driven by use of cash from operations. As of June 30,
2024, the Company had total net debt of $6.2 million compared to
$6.0 million as of March 31, 2024, a 3% increase.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company had
approximately 81,000 active Loop Players and Partner Screens across
the Loop Platform, which included 30,486 QAUs across the Company’s
O&O Platform, a decrease of 13% (or 4,412 QAUs) over the 34,898
QAUs for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and a decrease of 7% (or
2,172 QAUs) over the 32,658 QAUs for the second quarter of fiscal
2024, and approximately 51,000 Partner Screens across the Company’s
Partner Platforms at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024,
an increase of 38% (or approximately 14,000 Partner Screens) over
approximately 37,000 Partner Screens at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 2023, and an increase of approximately 2% (or
approximately 1,000 Partner Screens) over approximately 50,000
Partner Screens at the end of the second quarter of fiscal
2024.
Continued Cost-Cutting Initiatives
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company
continued the cost-cutting review it began earlier in fiscal year
2024, which it believed would provide the framework for making it
more competitive in the CTV for business/DOOH industry and would
accelerate its potential path to break even and achieve operating
profitability. These measures have included: (1) discussions with
certain third-party content providers and other licensors with a
view to (i) restructuring existing or new license agreements and
(ii) eliminating certain fixed fee content licenses, in each case
to more closely align payments to content licensors with revenue
associated with such content; (2) the development and promotion of
lower cost channels to reduce or eliminate third-party content
license fees, where possible; and (3) a continued review of
existing third-party vendor products and services with a view to
eliminating approximately $750,000 in ongoing yearly costs and
expenses beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
These efforts are ongoing and as these initiatives and changes
continue to take effect, the Company believes it will see improved
margins for the business. There can be no assurances, however, that
the Company will be able to effect all changes that it has
identified or that any such changes will achieve the desired
results.
Justis Kao, CEO, stated, "Since my recent appointment as CEO, I
have focused my attention on those areas of the business where we
can look to increase revenues, leverage the Company’s fixed and
variable expenses and improve profitability. As we have already
undertaken significant cost-cutting measures, we will continue to
streamline our operations and create further cost efficiencies for
the remainder of this fiscal year and into the next. We are also
continuing to work toward the expansion of our subscription
offerings to our out-of-home business clients, including the
introduction of a two-tier music video service offering, which will
include a “primary tier” consisting of fewer than ten music video
channels provided under a free ad-based service, and a “premium
tier” of Loop’s full library of curated music video channels
provided under a subscription service. We have also recently
announced a non-music subscription offering that includes a number
of live channels ranging from live sports events (including The NFL
Redzone and The NFL Network) to news and lifestyle offerings which
we believe will continue to support the growth opportunities of our
business while further enhancing the customer experience for our
business venue partners.”

Non-GAAP Measures
Loop Media uses non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted
EBITDA and quarterly active units or QAUs, as supplemental measures
of the performance of the Company's business. Use of these
financial measures has limitations, and you should not consider
them in isolation or use them as substitutes for analysis of Loop
Media’s financial results under generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, provides
investors with additional information about our financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure used by our
board of directors and management to evaluate our operating
performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis and as a
measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for
evaluating actual results against such expectations.
Adjusted EBITDA is not measured in accordance with, or an
alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In
addition, this non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a non-GAAP
financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does
not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of
operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In
particular:
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the
amounts we paid in interest expense on our outstanding debt;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the
amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax
provision;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include
depreciation expense from fixed assets;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include
amortization expense;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the
impact of stock-based compensation;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the
impact of non-recurring expense;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the
impact of restructuring costs;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the
impact of the loss on the extinguishment of debt;
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the
impact of employee retention credits; and
●
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the
impact of other income including foreign currency translation
adjustments, realized foreign currency gains/losses and unrealized
gains/losses.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted
EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures including net
income (loss) and our financial results presented in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. The financial tables below provide a reconciliation
of Adjusted EBITDA to the most nearly comparable measure under U.S.
GAAP.
The Company defines an “active unit” as (i) an ad-supported Loop
Player (or DOOH location using Loop Media’s ad-supported service
through its “Loop for Business” application or using a DOOH
venue-owned computer screening the Company’s content) that is
online, playing content, and has checked into the Loop analytics
system at least once in the 90-day period or (ii) a DOOH location
customer using the Company’s paid subscription service at any time
during the 90-day period. The Company uses quarterly active units,
or “QAUs,” to refer to the number of such active units during such
period.
