Narrowstep(TM) Inc. Reports 1st Quarter Results for Fiscal Year 2008
NEW YORK and LONDON, July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Narrowstep(TM) Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on the Internet Company, announced results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, ended May 31, 2007. Revenue for the quarter was $1.6 million with a loss of $3.3 million or $0.07 loss per share, compared to revenue for the comparable quarter of the previous year of $1.1 million with a loss of $1.2 million or $0.03 loss per share. At quarter's end the company had $4.3 million in cash.
"The future of television is largely dependent on the Internet, and television on the Internet is an area where Narrowstep has a distinct advantage," said David C. McCourt, Chairman and CEO. "We continue to see tremendous demand for Narrowstep's technology and tools for monetizing video content. During the first quarter, we launched a number of exciting channels for industry leaders such as Virgin Media, the Sci Fi Channel and award- winning film company, BreakThru Films. We also entered into exclusive partnerships with the William Morris Agency, the world's largest talent and literary agency, as well as with Telefonica, the third largest telecommunications company in the world."
Overall revenue increased by 39% year over year, the increase in narrowcasting sales was 69% year over year ($1.4 million compared to $0.8 million).
"As we discussed last quarter, Narrowstep is focused on capitalizing on the high growth, high margin narrowcasting segment of our business. As such, we have moved away from the lower margin production business in order to focus on the higher margin channel building and channel development segment which plays to the strength of our telvOS(TM) platform, and where I believe we have a real advantage both in the U.S. and abroad," added McCourt.
At this time, Narrowstep will not be conducting an investor call. For additional information please contact, Jesse Case at (609) 951-2221 or jcase@narrowstep.com.
