Remark Media Reports Third Quarter 2016 Results
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Remark Media (NASDAQ: MARK), a global digital media technology company, reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2016.
Kai-Shing Tao, Remark Media's Chairman and CEO, stated: "During the third quarter of 2016, we drove meaningful year-over-year growth in net revenue, which reflects the addition of Vegas.com to our digital media portfolio as well as the enhancements we have made to the asset over the last year. Further enhancing our portfolio, in September of this year we acquired FansTang, which adds significant synergies to our entire asset base as well as an additional revenue stream.
We have also continued our focus on growing and developing KanKan into a unique and powerful source of consumer data with near-term monetization opportunities. In fact, we are preparing to launch our first KanKan business-to-business product with a financial services customer in the fourth quarter of this year, with first revenues expected in early 2017. While this is a significant milestone for us, we are pursuing many additional opportunities to leverage this unique and powerful data intelligence platform with customers in multiple industries including finance, travel, retail and entertainment. As we look ahead, we are more excited than ever about our ability to expand our leadership position in global consumer data intelligence and monetize our offerings in that arena."
