August 14, 2018 4:26 PM

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLPN), a leading independent entertainment marketing and premium content production company announces its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Quarterly Highlights

  • Revenue for Q2 2018 was $5.2 million, compared to $7.8 million in Q2 2017. The decrease in revenue in Q2 2018 is entirely attributable to the life cycle of a feature film that was released in October 2016 and the majority of the revenues from that film being recognized during 2016 and 2017.
  • Entertainment publicity revenue of $5.1 million, essentially flat for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior year
  • Operating income of $69,267 compared to an operating loss of $155,753 in the same period in the prior year.
  • Net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the same period in the prior year.
  • Stockholders' equity of $5.3 million as of June 30, 2018 compared to a stockholders' deficit of $3 million on June 30, 2017.
  • After the quarter ended, on July 5, 2018, Dolphin acquired top lifestyle and hospitality PR agency, The Door, for aggregate consideration of up to $11 million, which includes performance-based contingent consideration of up to $7 million.
  • After the quarter ended, on July 24, 2018, Dolphin closed a $6.0 million public offering. Two million shares of common stock were issued at a purchase price to the public of $3.00 per share, with no warrants attached.

Dolphin's CEO, Bill O'Dowd, commented: "We are extremely proud of how far we've come in the past year since purchasing 42West and announcing our intention of assembling a "Super Group" of previously privately-held, already profitable, best-in-class entertainment marketing companies. Acquisitions of The Door and 42West, recognized as the third and fourth most powerful PR firms in the country, respectively, are proof that we can execute on this strategy. In upcoming quarters, we hope to share more exciting acquisitions, as well as the launch of our content production business, which will represent us firing on all cylinders."
