NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: YOD) ("YOU On Demand" or the "Company"), a leading Video On Demand service provider in China delivering Hollywood movies to mobile and TV screens, today announced its financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 (a full copy of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q will be posted at www.sec.gov).  Chairman Shane McMahon, CEO Weicheng Liu and President and CFO Marc Urbach are hosting an investor update conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the Company's recent results.  To join the webcast, please visit the 'Webcasts and Events' section of the YOD corporate website, http://corporate.yod.com/webcasts.  Otherwise, the toll-free dial-in is: 877/407-3107; international callers should dial: 201/493-6796.

Shane McMahon, Chairman of YOU On Demand, commented, "As evidenced from our strong Q3 revenues which grew 253% quarter-over-quarter, YOU On Demand is beginning to show the fruit of a tremendous amount of planning and hard work.  In China, as the appetite for premium content and the breadth of distribution channels continues to grow, YOU On Demand is now firmly entrenched and well-positioned to capitalize." 

YOU On Demand CEO Weicheng Liu, stated, "We are very pleased with the traction we are now witnessing when it comes to revenue growth and consumer uptake.  It is directly attributed to both the tremendous effort of the YOU On Demand team as well as the growing Chinese middle-class consumers who are now showing a very convincing desire to pay for premium content that is delivered to their mobile and TV screens with the highest quality.  Our service strategy remains the same: to offer a unique and differentiated service to an audience of China's most passionate movie fans.  Through organic growth and continued expansion of distribution partnerships, we believe YOU On Demand is decisively executing on its plan to be the number one destination for movie fans across mobile and TV screens."

YOU On Demand President & CFO Marc Urbach commented, "YOU On Demand had a strong start to the second half of 2014 as we intensified our commitment to delivering high quality entertainment across a spectrum of consumer devices and screens. There are many opportunities that lie ahead and we expect to best leverage these by maintaining our fiscally prudent strategy for the long-term benefit of the Company's shareholders."

2014 Q3 Operating Results

Revenues for Q3 were approximately $645,000, an increase of 253% over Q2 2014 and an increase of 577% over Q3 in the prior year.

Our gross loss for the quarter amounted to $228,000, down from $617,000 in the same period in the prior year.

The loss from operations of $2.3 million for the quarter was down from a $2.6 million loss from operations in the comparable 2013 period.  The net loss attributable to YOU On Demand shareholders for the Q3 2014 quarter amounted to $1.9 million, compared to $3.2 million income in the prior year quarter, which included $5.6 million income from discontinued operations.

The loss per share on a fully diluted basis for Q3 2014 was $0.09 compared to $0.14 income per share in the year-ago Q3 which included $0.36 income per share from discontinued operations.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $3.8 million at December 31, 2013, to $13.0 million at September 30, 2014.

Guidance

For full-year fiscal 2014, YOU On Demand now expects total revenue to be in the range of $1.7 million - $2.0 million.  The change in guidance is directly attributable to longer-than-anticipated finalization of distribution agreements and therefore certain revenues being delayed to 2015.
