HOLLYWOOD MEDIA CORP. REPORTS 2011 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS
BOCA RATON, Fla., April 16, 2012 – Hollywood Media Corp. (Nasdaq: HOLL) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
On a continuing operations basis which includes the contribution from the Ad Sales and Intellectual Property divisions, net revenues for the 2011 fourth quarter were $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million in the prior-year period. For the full year 2011, net revenues were $3.8 million versus $4.0 million in 2010.
Loss from continuing operations for the 2011 fourth quarter was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations last year of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. For the full year 2011, loss from continuing operations was $7.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, which included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 relating to the Company’s Ad Sales Division, compared to a loss from continuing operations last year of $7.1 million or $0.23 per diluted share.
Net income, which includes Discontinued Operations, was essentially $0 in the 2011 fourth quarter, compared to net income last year of $5.7 million or $0.18 per share. For the full year 2011, net loss, which includes Discontinued Operations, was $6.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income last year of $4.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.
The Company had approximately 23.2 million weighted average shares outstanding in the 2011 fourth quarter compared to 31.2 million weighted average shares outstanding in the prior-year period. The reduction in share count principally relates to an 8.0 million share tender offer completed in the first quarter of 2011.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.7 million and no debt as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $29.4 million and no debt at December 31, 2010. The change reflects the completion of the Company’s tender offer in the first quarter of 2011, costs related to the sale of the Broadway Ticketing business including a working capital adjustment, and the Company’s $1.3 million investment in Project Hollywood, LLC.
