YOD Q1 2015 Operating Results
Revenues in Q1 were approximately $1,028,000, translating to year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth of 647% and 3%, respectively. The slowdown in quarter-over-quarter growth as compared to Q4 2014 over Q3 2014 was primarily attributed to seasonality surrounding the Chinese New Year and timing of revenue recognition, which will push certain revenues into Q2.
Gross loss for Q1 was approximately $15,000, as compared to a gross loss of $738,000 during the same period 2014. This improvement was due to the increased revenue related to the VOD business. YOD's cost of revenue is primarily comprised of content licensing fees and, to a lesser extent, costs associated with direct delivery of our content services such as content preparation fees and government censorship clearance costs.
Total operating expenses increased 43% in Q1 2015 vs the same quarter last year primarily from increases in marketing, promotion and technology expenses due to the growth in our business and the development of new products and services. In Q1 2015, we also incurred additional severance costs as we consolidated and streamlined our operations.
Net loss was $2,919,000 for Q1 compared to $7,452,000 in the comparable 2014 period, a 61% improvement.
The loss per share on a fully diluted basis for Q1 2015 was $0.12 compared to a $1.48 loss per share in the same period 2014.
As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.4 million and total current assets of approximately $11.9 million.
YOU On Demand CEO Weicheng Liu, stated, "Along with another strong quarter of revenues, we are pleased to announce today an expanded deal with long time OTT partner, Future TV, which will see YOU On Demand's YOU Hollywood movie service now available on Samsung Smart TV's, in China. In addition, over the last quarter, YOU On Demand has entered into 3 new IPTV platforms in the provinces of Hebei, Jiangxi and Sichuan. We expect revenue from those regions to be realized in the coming quarters and are pleased with the continued growth and expansion of our YOU Hollywood on IPTV services in these regions. These developments, coupled with the YOU On Demand's cost-cutting measures, increased focus on product development and marketing, and execution on our plan has put YOU On Demand in a strong position for future growth."
