Destiny Media Technologies, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Results
VANCOUVER, April 14, 2016 /CNW/ - Destiny Media Technologies (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQX: DSNY), the makers of Play MPE®, a system for the secure distribution of pre-release music to radio and the developer of Clipstream®, a cross-platform player-less video streaming format, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended February 29, 2016.
Highlights
Highlights during the second quarter include:
- Quarterly revenue increase 3% (YOY)
- Quarterly expenditures drop by 25% (YOY)
- Quarterly loss shrinks by 79% (YOY)
- Migration of Play MPE® system to a cloud computing platform
Second Quarter Results
Play MPE® revenue grew in Europe, USA and Australia for an overall increase of 1.4% or 8.5% after factoring in an unfavorable reduction in the Euro relative to the US dollar. Clipstream began to see positive revenue increases.
Expenditures dropped by 25% due to a reduction in costs associated with restructuring, favorable exchange rates, and a reduction in director and officer compensation.
Net loss for the second quarter declined by 79% to ($75,383), or ($0.00) per share, versus a net loss of ($364,457), or ($0.01) during the prior year.
"During the quarter we began to see the positive results from restructuring that took place in the prior year with revenues increasing and expenses declining. While Clipstream® is obviously at a very early commercial stage, the company saw progress in revenue in its hosted solution, enterprise plan, and market research clients, showing a 328% increase compared to the prior year's quarter," said Steve Vestergaard, Chief Executive Officer for Destiny Media Technologies. "With the technology restructure completed in the quarter, the Company can move forward with product design enhancements to grow revenue."
