Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 17, 2023) – Destiny Media Technologies (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQB: DSNY), the makers of Play MPE®, a cloud-based SaaS solution for digital asset management in the music industry, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 second quarter ended February 28, 2023.
“Revenue continued to improve throughout the quarter,” said Fred Vandenberg, President and CEO. “Growing independent label and artist distribution, increased global list offerings, and price adjustments all contributed to a foreign exchange-adjusted revenue increase of 7%. These results were partially offset by a decline in the value of the Euro where the Company generates 50% of its revenue.”
“Our focus for the quarter was increasing our investments in product development designed to expand the addressable market and accelerate revenue growth,” continued Vandenberg.
Highlights
Highlights for Q2 2023 include (all figures are USD, and comparisons are to Q2 2022):
- Foreign exchange-adjusted revenue increased 7% for the quarter (including increases in Major Label revenue (+9%), independent record label revenue (+5%));
- Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $63,984 for the quarter compared to an EBITDA loss of ($109,211) in the prior period. As described below, the Company commenced capitalizing certain software developments in the prior year. Assuming no software development costs were capitalized in either period, EBITDA for the quarter would be ($137,494) compared to ($191,472) for Q2 fiscal 2022;
- During the quarter the Company capitalized $201,478 in software development costs (prior year’s quarter $82,261) as the Company invested in new product development intended to expand the Company’s addressable market.
