Company Extends YOY Quarterly Growth Record for a 10th Consecutive Quarter
TORONTO, MUMBAI and LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - QYOU Media Inc., (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB:QYOUF) a company operating in India and the United States producing and distributing content created by social media stars and digital content creators, is reporting financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Highlights include as follows:
Records 10th Consecutive Quarterly YOY Revenue Growth: For the three months ended September 30, 2023 revenue was $7,279,874 marking the 10th consecutive quarter of YOY revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA*: For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Adjusted EBITDA loss increased by 29% compared to the prior quarter ended September 30, 2022 to $910,507 driven primarily by the decrease in US revenue attributable to the actors and writers strike in Q3 2023 combined with larger investment into growth initiatives in the direct to consumer gaming business. Improved Net Loss: Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased and improved by $193,311 or 9%. Cash Balance: The Company concluded the period ended September 30, 2023 with cash of $1,701,511 as compared to September 30, 2022 cash of $3,077,769. QYOU Media CEO and Co-Founder, Curt Marvis commented, "We keep moving the ball forward in what has clearly continued to be a really tough public markets environment, particularly for small and micro cap issuers. In addition, in the US, the actors and writers strike took a larger toll on Q3 revenues than we expected and it will continue to be somewhat of an issue for us in Q4 2023 as the slow recovery from those strikes begins to take hold. We know this is a very temporary and unpredictable setback and the silver lining is that it also spawned a significant and exciting amount of growth for us with new gaming partners like Activision and Ubisoft. The impact of the strike on the US business was combined with our predetermined move to push forward on our direct to consumer initiatives in India. Our strategic move to launch a Direct-to-Consumer gaming offering in India has, in part, been driven to optimally leverage our massive channel viewership audience alongside our strong in-country influencer marketing capabilities; both requisites of our Direct-to-Consumer business plans. We remain confident that investors will soon see the impact of these moves in fiscal 2024 and beyond. We are particularly excited about Q GamesMela, our recently launched free and real money gaming app which has shown exciting momentum in the earliest stages of its release. While we continue to exercise as much financial restraint as possible in the face of a lengthy and tough financial environment, we remain more bullish than ever that the type of growth we experienced in 2021 and 2022 will return in 2024 as a result of the work put in this year." *Note on Adjusted EBITDA:
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), we present Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") which is a non-IFRS financial measure. The presentation of non-IFRS financial measurement are not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, operating loss or net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to net
cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of cash flows or liquidity. We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash and or non-recurring operating expenses of stock-based compensation, marketing credits, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses). Adjusted EBITDA is used as an internal measure to evaluate the performance of our operating segments. We believe that information about this non-IFRS financial measure assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect operating income (loss) and net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and other factors that affect reported results. A limitation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in our business. Furthermore, this measure may vary among companies; thus Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. In connection with the closing of the Company's private placement of units for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,100,000, as announced on October 20, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $55,040 and issued finder's warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 1,695,561 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for twenty-four months as finder's fees to certain persons who assisted the Company in connection with the offering.

QYOU Media Reports Q3 FY 2023 Results

Paramount Pictures and QYOU Media have won the Integrated category at The Drum Awards for Social Media. Here is the award-winning case study. Paramount aimed to generate mass awareness, engagement, and anticipation for "Scream VI" using a short-form video campaign on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. QYOU was enlisted to create a compelling marketing strategy that would resonate with both new and existing fans of the 27-year-old franchise, with a focus on the Gen Z audience. The challenge was to maintain the essence of the film's themes without appearing "spoofy" while keeping the marketing ideas fresh and exciting. Strategy:
1. Creators and Interactive Content:
Identified and partnered with Creators to produce interactive, bespoke content aligned with the film’s key themes, locations, and characters, including the infamous “Ghostface.”
Created unique and engaging content executions contributing to the overall campaign theme, "Ghostface Unleashed." 2. "Ghostface Unleashed" Creative:
Developed a central creative concept where Ghostface is "unleashed" on NYC, terrorizing unsuspecting Creators. This immersive approach kept audiences engaged and terrified. Collaborated with creators to showcase Ghostface infiltrating their worlds, skillfully killing them off one by one, emphasizing Ghostface's ubiquity. 3. Original Series with Ocky:
Teamed up with “Ocky” (@rah_money1) to create a four-part series showcasing the Brooklyn Bodega legend’s encounter with Ghostface. Ghostface infiltrated Ocky's “Red Hook Food” bodega, with strategic comments fostering intrigue among fans and culminating in Ocky's "demise." 4. Diverse Creators and Platforms:
Leveraged well-known creators on TikTok, including Karen Thi, Gabriel DeSanti, Ted Zhar, Recider, Eliana Ghen, and EllaDoesVFX. Showcased Scream VI within individual brands, incorporating eerie Ghostface-themed content into their content styles. Results:
"Ocky" Original Series:
Achieved 5.1M+ views (8.2M+ across all platforms), 618K+ engagements, and an ER of 12.04% on TikTok (Benchmark: 3-4%). Demonstrated QYOU Studios' ability to produce and program elevated Creator content, maintaining engagement across Creator and Brand social channels. Overall Campaign (16 Creators, 36 Posts):
Generated 17.5M+ views, 1.9M+ engagements, a 10.83% ER, and 145K+ clicks directly to the ticketing site. Achieved an overall CTR of 2.48%, nearly 3x the platform benchmark of 0.87%. Box Office Success:
"Scream VI" debuted at #1 at the Box Office, setting a franchise record with a $67M global box office debut in its opening weekend. 42% of the audience in the key 18-24 demographic, indicating the success of the content in building intrigue and engagement. The campaign's success was attributed to original creative concepts, strategic use of key characters, talent, and themes from the franchise, and a careful curation of engaging content across diverse Creators and platforms.
