“Fiscal 2023 was a challenging year as our business was negatively impacted by weakened market sentiment, decrease in client spending and the temporary suspension of our social commerce business,” said Ivy Wong, Founder and CEO of VS Media. “That said, we believe the worst is behind us. As 2024 continues to unfold, we expect strong growth in our top line and profit margin driven by cross-regional brand partnership, AI-enabled digital content, and recovery in social commerce. We are confident that some of the strategic partnerships and new market entry that we have announced recently will start to pay off commercially this year.”
2023 Financial Summary
During fiscal year 2023, VS Media recorded revenue of $7.99 million compared to revenue of $9.03 million in the prior year. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to decreased revenue from the Company’s Optimization-Based Marketing Services and Social Commerce businesses. The decrease was a result of weakened market sentiment, change in service mix as the company recalibrated internal resource to focus on higher margined Campaign-based marketing services in Hong Kong and the Company’s strategy to temporarily suspend its Social Commerce business to optimize resources allocation.
Gross Profit for the year was $1.64 million compared to $2.28 million in the prior year. The overall decrease in gross margin to 20.5% was due to the abovementioned factors.
The Company reported a net loss of $6.59 million for the year, mainly due to listing related one-time expenses.
2024 Financial Guidance
Share Repurchase Program
VS Media today announces that its Board of Directors approved a 10b-18 share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to 500,000 of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares. This plan is effective immediately for up to a one-year period.
Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its Class A Ordinary Shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans, intended to qualify under Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions.
The timing, manner, price, and total amount of any share repurchases under the share repurchase program are determined by the Company at its discretion through various factors, including but not limited to business, economic and market conditions, corporate, legal and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, trading volume, and other considerations. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time and the Company is not obligated to acquire any amount of stock. The Company expects to utilize its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund any repurchases under the share repurchase program. “As market sentiment stabilizes in 2024, I am pleased with the momentum that we’ve seen across our business segments so far and will remain hyper focused on adding value between brands and creators to grow our marketing services on the one hand and resuming our social commerce business on the other. The announcement of share buyback demonstrates confidence in our business fundamentals and our commitment to shareholders,”
“VS Media continues to leverage our extensive capabilities in digital marketing and content creation. We are well-positioned to capitalize on emerging trends and opportunities related to digital marketing. In addition, VS Media's commitment to fostering talent and empowering content creators positions us as a catalyst for innovation and creativity in the digital space. By cultivating partnerships and investing in leading technologies, we are poised to drive growth, expand reach, and unlock new revenue potential in the years to come,” said VS Media CEO Ivy Wong.
