$GSMG -NASDAQ: Glory Star Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
BEIJING, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GSMG) (“Glory Star” or the “Company”), a leading mobile and online digital media and entertainment company in China, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
First Quarter 2020 Operating Highlights
Downloads of the CHEERS App1 exceeded 100.5 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to 17.2 million as of March 31, 2019.
Average daily active users (“DAUs”)2 of the CHEERS App increased to 4.1 million from 0.5 million in the same period of 2019.
The Company’s e-Mall carried over 9,602 Stock Keeping Units (“SKUs”) as of March 31, 2020, and recorded over RMB40.6 million (US$5.8 million) in gross merchandise value (“GMV”)3 through its CHEERS App in the first quarter of 2020.
First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
Revenues were US$9.8 million as compared to US$13.8 million in the same period of 2019.
Income from operations was US$2.9 million as compared to US$4.4 million in the same period of 2019.
Operating margin reduced to 29.7% from 32.3% in the same period of 2019.
Net income attributable to Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited’s shareholders was US$2.9 million as compared to US$4.1 million in the same period of 2019.
Net margin was 29.1% as compared to 30.1% in the same period of 2019.
Mr. Bing Zhang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Glory Star, commented, “In the face of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak, we delivered a solid operating performance, advanced our flagship e-commerce platform, and drove user base growth. We also maintained our content leadership by focusing on the creation of original, professionally produced content in the areas of lifestyle, culture, and fashion. As such, we continued to have success in converting content viewers into CHEERS App users, which was illustrated by an excess of 100.5 million CHEERS App downloads, in total, as of March 31, 2020, compared to 17.2 million CHEERS App downloads, in total, by the end of the prior-year period. Moreover, as a result of our platform stickiness and engaging content, MAUs in the period grew by 7% on a sequential basis. Our healthy growth trajectory also continued to fuel GMV growth as illustrated by more than US$3.0 million in GMV for the month of March.”
“Undoubtedly the outbreak of COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on both the overall market environment and our business in the quarter. As a result of the outbreak, we experienced a noticeable dampening of advertising demand as well as a slowdown in our copyrights business during the quarter. The decline in both businesses was not only a result of the economic slump, but also largely a result of our decision to put our own employees first, as we encouraged staff to work from home and follow the government’s policies. Due to this decision, we were less able to film those TV series and short online videos that form a crucial component of our revenue generation capabilities. Nevertheless, our unique business model, swelling user base, and content production leadership will continue to serve as competitive advantages going forward, enabling us to overcome these short-term uncertainties and replenish our revenue streams as conditions gradually normalize.”
Mr. Ian Lee, Chief Financial Officer of Glory Star, added, “In a challenging macro environment, we remained prudent in our finances during the period. As part of our focus on controlling costs, we leveraged the increasing influence of our CHEERS App platform to reduce our expenditure on those payments to various channel owners for broadcast advertisements. Going forward, as our professional content production restarts and the advertising environment becomes gradually more favorable, we are confident that we will pick up where we left off.”
First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were US$9.8 million as compared to US$13.8 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the impact of COVID-19 and its negative effect on the Company’s advertising revenues as well as a decline in copyrights revenues. The decrease was partially offset by an uptick in revenues generated from the copyright licensing of the Company’s internally produced TV show series, custom content production, and CHEERS e-Mall marketplace service, which was first launched in April 2019.
Advertising revenues in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 24.2% to US$7.9 million from US$10.4 million in the same period of 2019 due to sluggish advertising demand as well as the decline in online short videos and live streaming, attributable to more difficult filming conditions as a result of COVID-19 during that period. The decrease in the Company’s revenues was also due to a decline in copyrights revenues as the Company only earned copyright revenues from one TV channel in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to three channels in the same period of 2019. As such, copyrights revenues decreased by 63.6% to US$1.0 million from US$2.7 million in the same period of 2019.
Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 26.3% to US$6.9 million from US$9.3 million in the same period of 2019.
Cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 39.2% to US$5.0 million from US$8.2 million in the same period of 2019, which was in line with the decrease in revenues. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2020 improved to 48.8% from 40.3% in the same period of 2019, as the Company reduced expenditures on payments to various channel owners for broadcast advertisements and relied more heavily on its own CHEERs App platform, which has already attracted a large number of users, to provide advertising services.
Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were US$0.4 million compared to US$0.3 million in the same period of 2019. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were 3.9% as compared to 1.9% in the same period of 2019, which was due to the increase of coupons and reward points provided to users on CHEERS e-Mall to stimulate platform consumption.
General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were US$1.3 million compared to US$0.6 million in the same period of 2019. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were 13.2% compared to 4.6% in the same period of 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to higher professional service fees incurred after being listed as a public company as well as an increase in bad debt expense in the period.
Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were US$0.2 million compared to US$0.2 million in the same period of 2019. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were 2.1% compared to 1.4% in the same period of 2019. Despite the decline in the Company’s revenues during the first quarter of 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company continued to invest in the information technology of its CHEERS e-Mall platform, which led to an increase in research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues. This indicates that the Company strongly values maintaining its leadership in technology and has continued to strengthen its technology and research and development capabilities.
Income from operations in the first quarter of 2020 was US$2.9 million compared to US$4.4 million in the same period of 2019. Operating margin in the first quarter of 2020 reduced slightly to 29.7% from 32.3% in the same period of 2019.
Net income attributable to Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited’s shareholders in the first quarter of 2020 was US$2.9 million compared to US$4.1 million in the same period of 2019. Net margin in the first quarter of 2020 reduced slightly to 29.1% from 30.1% in the same period of 2019.
Basic and diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2020 were both US$0.06. In comparison, the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share in the same period of 2019 were US$0.10 and US$0.09, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$10.0 million, compared to US$1.3 million as of March 31, 2019.
