$BTDG in recent News: "Potential for Live Events to Contribute $1.5-2M in Annualized Sales, Excluding Sponsorship Income, on Positive Dynamics in Event Frequency, PPV, and Gate Sales"
B2 Digital, Inc.
Company Now Sees Potential for Live Events to Contribute $1.5-2M in Annualized Sales, Excluding Sponsorship Income, on Positive Dynamics in Event Frequency, PPV, and Gate Sales
Tampa, FL, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- B2Digital Incorporated (the “Company” or “B2Digital”) (OTCMKTS:BTDG), the premier development league for mixed martial arts (“MMA”), is pleased to provide an update on financial performance data (Unaudited) from its recent Live Events to provide current and prospective shareholders with greater insight into important trends.
“We are seeing a number of very positive trends and dynamics crystallizing in recent performance data from our Live Events,” commented Greg P. Bell, Chairman & CEO of B2Digital. “We felt it deserved to be addressed through official communications both because recent data highlights important new trends and in the spirit of increasing transparency in response to inquiries we have received from a number of shareholders.”
Note: Figures presented below represent provisional unaudited data subject to potential adjustment. This data also excludes the Company’s Fitness Facility and Training Segment, which accounts for the majority of total Company sales.
Thus far, in B2Digital events that have taken place in April (three events: Kokomo, IN, Macon, GA, and Lexington, KY), the Company unofficially brought in approximately $88k in total combined sales despite continued virus-related restrictions on attendance. Total sales averaged roughly $29.3k per event. Of that, gate ticket sales averaged roughly $21k per event, while Pay-Per-View ticket sales averaged roughly $8.2k per event. All three events were profitable on a per-event cost basis.
Significantly, all three events were sold out for in-person attendance, with all venues limiting capacity to 50% attendance due to continued concerns about transmission of Covid-19. In each case, substantial numbers of would-be attendees were turned away at the gate after maximum allowed capacity was reached, suggesting that recent gate ticket sales significantly understate demand and underestimate potential sales in the absence of pandemic-related restrictions.
In addition, both the rate of events per month and the contribution of PPV sales are seen as escalating versus pre-pandemic assumptions, with PPV sales increasing 1,550% on average, per event, compared to pre-pandemic levels, and the Company now on pace to put on 50 or more events per 52-week period, which represents an increase of roughly 100% as compared to pre-pandemic levels.
While these are unaudited financial performance figures, these trends – substantially understated gate sales, rapidly increasing PPV sales, and a significantly boosted pace of Live Events – together suggest that the Company’s projections for revenues related to its Live Event segment should be adjusted higher.
Bell added, “The upshot is this: through updates and investments in our team, equipment, and expertise, we have acquired the capacity to put on Live Events at a much faster pace than we have in the past. At the same, our PPV marketing has evolved to produce much better results, and we are also likely approaching the end of live crowd attendance restrictions before too much longer, which should have a large impact on cash flowing in the door, especially given the accelerated frequency of our events. Finally, we are also likely on the doorstep to beginning the process of monetizing our brand and events through the sponsorship channel. That is another significant factor that we believe will become a major part of our longer-term strategic roadmap.”
