IDW Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2022

LOS ANGELES, CA and NEWARK, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2023 / IDW Media Holdings, Inc., ("IDW") (NYSE American:IDW), an integrated media company, today reported results for the three and twelve-months ended October 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 (4Q22) Developments

  • Consolidated revenue increased 48% to $10.5 million from $7.1 million in 4Q21 primarily reflecting increased revenue at IDW Entertainment ("IDWE"). Revenue increased 36% sequentially from $7.7 million in 3Q22.
  • IDW Publishing ("IDWP") revenue decreased to $5.7 million from $6.9 million in 4Q21 primarily due to fewer titles being released during the quarter. Digital sales were flat as compared to 4Q21.
  • IDWE revenue increased to $4.8 million compared to $0.2 million in 4Q21, driven by the recognition of revenue from Locke & Key season three.
  • Consolidated income from operations was $0.3 million compared to a consolidated operating loss of $1.9 million in 4Q21.
  • Net income was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.06 per share, in 4Q21.

Full Fiscal Year 2022 Developments

  • Consolidated revenue increased 11% to $36.1 million in FY 2022 from $32.4 million in FY 2021.
  • IDWP revenue increased slightly to $25.8 million compared to $25.3 million in FY 2021. The increase was driven primarily by increased non-direct market revenue driven by strong sales of TMNT The Last Ronin and They Called Us Enemy, an increase in games revenue from the direct-to-consumer games campaign for Batman Adventures and an increase in retailer exclusive revenue related to Sonic the Hedgehog and Transformers, offset by a decrease in direct market revenue due to fewer titles being published and a decrease in digital sales as compared to the previous year.
  • IDWE revenue increased to $10.3 million from $7.1 million in FY 2021. FY 2022 results include revenue from the delivery of seasons two and three of Locke & Key and season one of Surfside Girls.
  • IDW's net loss improved to $0.7 million, or $0.06 per share, from a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.51 per share, in FY 2021.

Howard Jonas, Chairman of IDW Media Holdings, commented, "As we move through fiscal 2023, IDW remains focused on leveraging the combined strengths of its Publishing and Entertainment groups to produce inventive content for a variety of media platforms. The Board is pleased with the direction that Allan has brought to the Company since being appointed CEO in the fall, and we remain focused on driving long-term, sustained shareholder value."

Allan Grafman, Chief Executive Officer of IDW Media Holdings, commented, "We're pleased to have closed out fiscal 2022 with strong fourth quarter performance, as reflected in increased revenue, enhanced operating results and improved profitability year over year. As expected, our delivery of season three of Locke & Key drove significant revenue growth in the quarter. IDW continued to make solid progress throughout fiscal 2022 and we entered fiscal 2023 with a heightened focus on leveraging our creative partnerships to maximize our library of original titles for the continued development of print as well as entertainment projects.

"As we've previously discussed, our entertainment development pipeline is very strong and we're excited about the strength of our slate of opportunities to bring new content to market. We currently have seven development agreements in place and many more that are in the works, and to provide some context, last year at this time we had no meaningful development deals in place, reflecting our team's tremendous progress. That said, the development of premier entertainment content from idea to green light to delivery takes time. While we cannot predict the timing, we're optimistic about our potential entertainment projects and the partners we're working with, and we're confident that IDW has some of the most compelling characters and stories available. We look forward to bringing innovative new series, feature films and podcasts to market."
