Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment, commented: 'Our Q2 witnessed another historic quarter from our core Entertainment Publicity and Marketing segment, up 23% year over year and reaching a record $6.3 million of revenue.'
Mr. O'Dowd continued, ' As a reminder, there is seasonality in our movie marketing business, with Q2 representing the low point in any given year, as it is the only quarter without any awards business. Thus, for Q2 revenue to be better than Q1, and to improve by 23% from the prior year for the EPM segment, shows the power of the revenue diversification we are achieving with the creation of our Entertainment Marketing 'Super Group.'"
Mr. O'Dowd added, "As stated in our Q1 Earnings Release and on our Q1 Earnings Call, we are managing toward revenue growth in 2019. On the bottom line, our Q2 operating loss, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, was entirely the result of the seasonality of revenues in our movie marketing division. With the return of awards season in Q3, we expect continued revenue growth and a much stronger bottom line for the rest of the year, even as we invest in additional personnel, such as the Consumer Products PR team at The Door."
Mr. O'Dowd concluded, 'On the M&A front, we are confident we'll have another acquisition done before the end of the year. Our goal is to have all 6 "core competency" companies of the 'Super Group' acquired within 2020. We believe reaching that goal will accelerate revenue growth even further as the cross-selling of services will amplify exponentially as the number of "sister" companies increase.'
