iMagicTV Reports Second Quarter Results
All amounts in U.S. Dollars
SAINT JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA (September 26, 2002) — iMagicTV (Nasdaq: IMTV and TSX: IMT), a provider of software products that allow telephone companies and other service providers to deliver multi-channel television and interactive media services over high-speed broadband networks, today announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2003 ended August 31, 2002.
The Company's net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was $4.0 million, or $0.16 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.21 per basic share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the second quarter were $254,000 compared with $803,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease is the result of a weakening in services revenues as customers continue to delay the transition between trials and commercial deployment. Total operating expenses decreased $1.8 million to $3.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $5.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. As of August 31, 2002, iMagicTV had $39.9 million in cash and short-term investments, compared to $43.2 million at the end of the first quarter ended May 31, 2002.
"SaskTel commercially launched its interactive digital television service on September 12 using iMagicTV's software platform," said Gerald L. Pond, iMagicTV chief executive officer. "Another positive industry development occurred when Telus, Canada's second largest telephone company, announced on September 17, 2002 in theNational Post that it would begin offering digital television service to compete with cable television providers. Every major Canadian telco has now committed to a video strategy."
"As we had expected, customer trial activity was sluggish during the second quarter which resulted in lower revenues during the period. We have recently signed two new trial customers, both generated through our increased emphasis on our partner channels, specifically with Alcatel, in our European Region. Recent developments for both iMagicTV and the industry demonstrate that the overall market is gaining positive momentum."
"The increased customer activity, particularly through our channel initiatives, and recent industry news are positive signs for the overall demand for broadband entertainment," Pond added. "According to the latest industry figures released by the DSL Forum in August 2002, broadband DSL deployments have reached 25.6 million access lines worldwide, representing only about 2 percent of the households serviced by telcos. In the same release was the news that during the last six months, broadband DSL deployments grew 36 percent. This market represents a continued opportunity for iMagicTV. As broadband deployments increase, iMagicTV is well-positioned to benefit from this growth, and we continue to focus on generating new customers, containing our costs and maximizing our shareholder value."
