- Leading mobile sports company earns ranking in 2015 TSX Venture 50® list
TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2015 /CNW/ - theScore, Inc. (TSX Venture: SCR) ("theScore") was today included within the 2015 TSX Venture 50®, a list of the top 50 companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The TSX Venture 50® is made-up of the top 10 companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, in each of five major industry sectors - mining, oil & gas, technology & life sciences, diversified industries and clean technology - based on a ranking formula with equal weighting given to return on investment, market cap growth, trading volume and analyst coverage.
theScore was named as the top company within the diversified industries category. Each of the companies chosen for the 2015 TSX Venture 50® had seen "impressive growth over the past year, offered strong return to their shareholders and are actively traded in the market."
"It's great to see theScore recognized in the 2015 TSX Venture 50® for the value we've been able to provide our shareholders," said John Levy, Founder and CEO of theScore.
"We're extremely excited to see what the rest of 2015 has in store as we continue to grow the user base of our mobile platforms - particularly following our recent acquisition of daily fantasy sports game Swoopt and our entry into the burgeoning competitive video game scene with theScore eSports."
theScore eSports launched last week, making theScore the first major sports media company to launch a dedicated mobile app providing scores, news and stats for eSports and competitive video gaming. In December, theScore acquired mobile-first daily fantasy sports game Swoopt, providing theScore with a strategic entry point into the daily fantasy sports space.
Last month, theScore's reported that average monthly active users of its mobile platforms reached a record 10.2 million in Q1 F2015 (Sep-Nov 2014), an increase of 112% compared to the same period in F2014.
