JumpTV Reports Q2 2008 Results
TORONTO–(EMWNews – August 11, 2008) – JumpTV (TSX: JTV) (
of live and on-demand sports and international television over the
Internet, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2008.
Revenue was $3.6 million (all amounts in U.S. dollars) for the second
quarter of 2008 compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 and
$1.2 million in the same period in 2007 — marking a year-over-year
increase of 206%. This increase can be attributed to the acquisition of
CyclingTV and XOS Broadband Networks (now JumpTV Sports) and the revenue
generated by the South American World Cup Qualifiers in the second quarter
of 2008.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $11.5 million or
$0.23 per share, basic and diluted as compared to $58.7 million or $1.19
per share, basic and diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
$6.5 million or $0.13 per share, basic and diluted in the same period a
year ago. The decrease in net loss from the first quarter 2008 was
primarily due to the impairment of goodwill and intangibles recorded in the
first quarter. Non-cash expenses were $2.0 million in the second quarter,
consisting of amortization and stock-based compensation, compared to $50.2
million in the first quarter of 2008, consisting of impairment of goodwill
and intangibles as well as amortization and stock-based compensation. As of
June 30, 2008 the Company had $29.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
“In our sports business, we broadened our client base by adding new teams
and leagues as partners and, at the same time, we increased the depth of
many of our existing relationships by adding incremental functionality and
other technology solutions to their online offerings,” commented G. Scott
Paterson, Executive Chairman of JumpTV.
“In our international business, we took steps with respect to people and
other resources to position our strongest areas of content aggregation —
Arabic, South Asian, Hispanic and Caribbean — to be re-energized in the
context of our new business plan which will unfold as a result of our
planned merger with NeuLion. In particular, at this time, we have focused
on our Arabic content which will soon be launched and available under its
own newly designed and built proprietary portal which will compliment this
content’s availability on JumpTV.com,” added Paterson.
The Company reports that its previously announced planned merger with
NeuLion Inc., a Plainview, New York-based end-to-end IPTV service provider
of live and on-demand sports, international and religious programming over
the Internet and through set top boxes to the television, is on track to
close on October 1st subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
“We are very excited about our pending merger and believe that the
JumpTV/NeuLion combination will be able to offer our sports and
international content partners best-in-class technology and services,”
Paterson commented.
The Company reported the following traffic related average monthly metrics
in connection with overall user activity on JumpTV.com, our affiliate web
sites and on JumpTV Sports-managed sites but not including third-party
distributors of JumpTV content such as AOL.com and Terra.com:
KPI (monthly averages in millions) Q2 2008 Q2 2007
Stream Viewed 4.1 2.6
Minutes Viewed 95.9 63.0
Monthly Unique Visitors 7.2 4.6
Monthly Pages Viewed 62.6 46.2
Ad Impressions 178.3 22.2
The approximate number of subscribers as of June 30, 2008 was 68,500.
Year-over-year subscribers increased 128% from 30,000 in Q2 2007, primarily
as a result of the acquisitions of XOS Broadband Networks (now JumpTV
Sports) and Cycling TV. The Company reports that it is typical for its
subscriber trends to experience significant seasonality with Q2 being the
weakest and Q4 being the strongest quarters as a result of the
college/university school years and, correspondingly, football and
basketball seasons.

Forward-Looking Statement
Certain statements herein relating to JumpTV’s plans to merge with Nuelion,
Inc. are forward-looking statements and represent JumpTV’s current
intentions in respect of future activities. These statements, in addressing
future events and conditions, involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements can by identified by the use of the words
“will,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,”
“expect,” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may,”
“will,” “can,” “should,” “could,” or “might” occur or be achieved and other
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve significant risk,
uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results,
performance or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed
or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors should be
considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements
contained in this release are based upon what Management believes to be
reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers that actual
results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release and the
Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new
events or circumstances, except as required by law. Many factors could
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements,
including: general economic and market segment conditions, competitor
activity, product capability and acceptance, international risk and
currency exchange rates and technology changes. More specific risks include
that the merged entity will not be able to realize some or all of the
expected synergies due to incompatibilities in the merging businesses, the
inability of management to bring about such synergies or a changing
business environment rendering such synergies inadvisable or uneconomical.
After integrating the businesses the suite of service offerings may not
perform as expected if shifting demand moves in a direction away from the
expected business model of the merged entity, if competitors are able to
take market share away from the merged entity or if changing technology
adversely impacts the merged businesses. In addition, while the Company
expects its content partners and those of NeuLion to continue and expand
their relationship with the merged entity, there can be no assurance that
such relationships will continue as expected, or at all. More detailed
assessment of the risks that could cause actual results to materially
differ than current expectations is contained in the “Risk Assessment”
section of the Company’s 2007 annual MD&A filed on www.sedar.com.
