YOU On Demand Reports 2013 Q1 Results and Schedules Investor Update Call for May 31 at 10:30 a.m. ETNEW YORK, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: YOD) ("YOU On Demand" or the "Company"), a national Video On Demand (VOD) platform in China, announced today its operating results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 (a full copy of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q will also be posted at www.sec.gov). Chairman & CEO Shane McMahon and President & CFO Marc Urbach will host an investor conference call and update on May 31 at 10:30 a.m. ET to discuss the Company's recent operating results. The conference call dial-in number is 800-741-4871. Shane McMahon, Chairman and CEO of YOU On Demand, commented, "The first quarter of 2013 marked a milestone for YOU On Demand as we officially launched our business on the YOU On Demand platform. Over the past two years we have focused on putting three critical pillars of our business in place. The first goal was to secure a national operating license throughout China. We accomplished that with the signing of a 20-year exclusive license with China Home Cinema. Our second objective was to license a wide range of premium content from Hollywood studios, which we accomplished by signing content deals with Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount Pictures, NBCUniversal, Lionsgate, Magnolia Pictures, Miramax and others, as well as popular Chinese content providers like CHC. Third, we secured key distribution relationships with leading cable, IPTV and OTT (Over-The-Top) providers, and are in advanced discussions to further increase distribution for 2013 and beyond. "We are pleased with the performance of the YOU On Demand infrastructure during this critical time in our Company's history. We have been taking a hard look at the relative initial success of certain cable providers and are using a 'best-practices' approach to fine-tune our platform and marketing strategy to enhance the results with those cable operators where we got off to a comparatively slower start. "Looking ahead, we are focused on growing revenue, while keeping a sharp eye on operating expenses. We have a range of exciting initiatives that include new distribution platforms and additional content that should benefit our 2013 and future results. We remain committed to supporting our studio and distribution partners and working in unison to develop and deliver products that live up to the consumers' exacting demands," concluded Mr. McMahon. First quarter operating results Marc Urbach, YOU On Demand's President & CFO, commented, "As we have now fully transitioned our business and focus to being the leading national Video On Demand platform in China, our reported Q1 financial results should not be viewed as representative of our going-forward growth business. Looking ahead, our focus will be to report results that are reflective of the performance of our YOU On Demand VOD platform." Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 fell to $1.3 million, from $2.0 million from the comparable quarter in 2012, while total operating expenses declined by 27.3% from $4.4 million in Q1 2012 to $3.2 million in Q1 2013. This led to an improvement in net operating results, from a loss of $4.8 million in Q1 2012, to a loss of $3.7 million in Q1 2013, resulting in an Q1 2013 EPS loss of $0.23 per share, compared to a loss of $0.40 in Q1 2012. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $4.4 million at December 31, 2012, to $2.1 million at March 31, 2013. It is important to note that YOU On Demand's financial results for the prior-year quarter mainly reflect the operations of its legacy business (Jinan Broadband & Shandong Media). Current quarter results do not show contributions from Shandong Media, as those results have been deconsolidated as of July 1, 2012 and from July 1, 2012 on are being accounted for under the equity method.
