QYOU Media Inc. reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, following the completed sale of its “Q” India Channel Business and a broader move toward influencer and social media marketing. The company recorded quarterly revenue of $5,726,804, down 12% from the same period a year earlier.
#Sale completes strategic realignment
QYOU Media completed the sale of its “Q” India Channel Business on March 31, 2025. The company said the transaction concluded a realignment intended to concentrate resources on its influencer marketing operations in North America and India.
The company had started discontinuing its Maxamtech mobile gaming business in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Financial comparisons for the first quarter of 2025 and later periods will exclude the discontinued business units, with year-over-year comparisons adjusted to reflect the revised operating focus.
#Revenue affected by delayed US campaigns
QYOU Media attributed the quarterly revenue decline primarily to campaigns in its United States business that were paused or delayed amid global and market uncertainty during the quarter.
Management believes the shortfall will be recovered over the course of the 2025 fiscal year. The company did not provide further detail on the timing or extent of that recovery.
#Adjusted EBITDA improves while net loss increases
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations improved by $58,924, or 26%, compared with the same period a year earlier. The company attributed the change to cost controls across its business units while maintaining investments in its workforce and social media relationships.
Net loss from continuing operations grew 8% or $45,691.
QYOU Media defines Adjusted EBITDA as a non-IFRS measure based on revenue less operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, marketing credits, depreciation and amortization. The company notes that the measure does not include the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies.
#Cash flow and operating focus
Cash increased by $306,891, or 32%, to $1,253,675, compared with $946,784 at December 31, 2024. Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $683,523 for the period ended March 31, 2025, compared with $169,233 in the same period a year earlier.
The company operates in India and the United States. Its Indian subsidiary, Chtrbox, is described as an influencer and marketing platform and agency that connects brands and products with social media influencers. In the United States, QYOU Media works with film studios, game publishers and brands to create and market content through creators and influencers.
#Forward-looking matters
The company’s release includes forward-looking statements concerning future investments, approvals related to investments, the expected use of proceeds and future business activities. QYOU Media stated that its assumptions may prove incorrect and that actual results could differ materially because of factors including risks beyond its control.
The company also referred to efforts through Chatterbox Technologies to move closer to becoming the first influencer marketing listed company in India on the BSE, formerly the Bombay Stock Exchange. This remains an effort rather than a completed listing.
