Zedge, Inc. (NYSE MKT:ZDGE) today announced results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2017, the three months ended January 31, 2017.
Second Quarter FY 2017 Operational and Financial Highlights(Results are for the 2nd quarter FY 2017 and are compared to the 2nd quarter FY 2016 except where otherwise noted.)
Management Remarks
“Zedge made significant strides in the past quarter on our path towards sustained growth, investing in expansion of our user base and improving engagement by focusing on content, the currency of our business. To that end, we leveraged machine learning and artificial intelligence to improve our users’ ability to discover content from within our catalog; we started making search more powerful and intuitive; and we increased our investment in content creation. In addition, we continued building our distribution platform by enhancing “Collections” – previously referred to as “Stories” – with the inclusion of video and additional content types like icons and widgets. Publishers including Sports Illustrated and various Hollywood studios have embraced Zedge’s platform in order to get their brands in front of consumers,” said Tom Arnoy, co-founder and CEO. “Over time we believe that these initiatives will translate into increased user loyalty, enhanced engagement and additional revenue streams. This past quarter, MAU, which is one of our most important KPIs, grew sequentially by close to 6% to 33.4 million. This is the second consecutive quarter of sequential MAU growth albeit with growth in the emerging markets outpacing that of the well-developed economies. This growth results from our investment in content discovery and user engagement and highlights the need for continued investment in the business to realize sustained user and revenue growth in the long term.”
Jonathan Reich, CFO and COO of Zedge, added, “Our second quarter results reflect our commitment to MAU expansion and content investment, which bodes well for user engagement and retention over time. Going into the third quarter we have started testing new monetization layers in addition to introducing new ad formats that are yielding encouraging results. Although we reported a loss from operations this past quarter, the results are consistent with our objective of sustaining growth by accelerating the product development cycle across both Android and iOS, yielding more users and ultimately, opening up new monetization opportunities. This investment is essential to stay ahead of the curve and unlock the value in Zedge. In closing I am pleased to welcome Todd Feldman as a member of our board. Todd is a highly regarded and experienced technology banker who serves as a managing director at Mooreland Partners LLC, a leading independent investment bank providing M&A and private capital advisory services to the global technology industry. With Todd joining, MT Carney is stepping down. MT has been very helpful to us in formulating our value proposition and I want to thank her for being a friend to the company over the past couple of years.”
