Preliminary data on calendar fourth quarter results has been released by Qyou Media (TSXV: QYOU) this morning, and the company did not disappoint. The firm is reporting that the fourth calendar quarter of 2021 is its best quarter to date, with a record revenue figure of $5.7 million.
The preliminary revenue figure is significant for two reasons for the company. First, the revenue figure marks a quarter over quarter revenue increase of 20.6%. The growth follows 81% sequential growth seen in the first fiscal quarter of the year. Second, with prior guidance provided by the company point to revenue of $4.5 million for the quarter, it represents a 26.7% beat to the firms guidance.
If the revenue beat isn’t enough, the company also reported that it has seen its operating business units of Q India as well as QYOU USA both achieve positive adjusted EBITDA. The former is expected to post adjusted EBITDA of $80,000 on revenue of $3.8 million, while the latter is expected to post adjusted EBITDA of $10,000 on revenue of $1.9 million. In terms of net loss, the company expects the period ended December 31, 2021 to see a loss of $2.0 million, much of which is attributed to share-based compensation and amortization.
