Gaia, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a conscious media and community company, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Highlights:

  • Revenue growth of 11% and member growth of 10% from the year-ago quarter.
  • Operating cash flows for the first half of 2024 improved by $2.6 million and free cash flow improved by $2.0 million from the same period in 2023.
  • Gaia subsidiary completed transactions raising $12 million. 

“During the second quarter, which is our seasonally slowest, we grew revenue 11% and members 10% year over year, while delivering positive free cash flow. We expect the positive cash flow generation to continue with revenue growth increasing to about 15% in the fourth quarter,” said Jirka Rysavy, Gaia’s Executive Chairman. “In 2016 we invested $10 million and recently raised $12 million for our subsidiary Igniton from outside investors, a portion of which was used to acquire an exclusive worldwide license for the Igniton health technology. This technology uses concentrated quasi-particles transmitted by the sun to improve cognition, memory and longevity.”

Gaia CEO James Colquhoun commented: "We continued our trend of executing on cash flow positive growth with notable improvements in marketing efficiency. Today, we are also excited to officially announce the launch of the Gaia Marketplace to our entire member base. This initiative not only strengthens our community engagement but also introduces an alternative revenue stream to the Gaia business. Additionally, we have also implemented a price increase for new members, starting in July, which we expect to positively impact our revenue by the end of the year. The timing was moved from Q2 to Q3 to strategically align with our third-party partners, ensuring minimal disruption to our members, which resulted in a slight impact on our second quarter revenue." 

Gaia CFO Ned Preston commented: “Operating cash flows for the first six months finished at $3.9 million, representing a $2.6 million improvement from the first six months of 2023 and continues the momentum we've delivered in the prior four quarters. During the second quarter, we incurred meaningful amounts of non-recurring expenses related to Igniton and corporate administrative expenses. We expect our ARPU to grow more rapidly with our price increases and the launch of Gaia Marketplace during the second half of 2024.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial ResultsRevenues for the second quarter grew $2.24 million or 11% to $22.08 million from $19.84 million in the year-ago quarter. Member count increased to 850,000 as of June 30, 2024, up from 774,500 or 10% from June 30, 2023.

Gross profit in the second quarter increased 10% to $18.7 million from $17.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Including the non-recurring expenses, net loss was $(2.2) million, or $(0.09) per share, unchanged from the year-ago quarter, and free cash flow was $0.7 million, representing a fifth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow.

In the last six months both revenue and member growth were stable at over 10%, with an improvement in free cash flow of $2.0 million on top of the $8.4 million improvement delivered during 2023.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this discussion, we intend the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions as they relate to us to identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ include, without limitation: our ability to attract new members and retain existing members; our ability to compete effectively, including for customer engagement with different modes of entertainment; maintenance and expansion of device platforms for streaming; fluctuation in customer usage of our service; fluctuations in quarterly operating results; service disruptions; production risks; general economic conditions; future losses; loss of key personnel; price changes; brand reputation; acquisitions; new initiatives we undertake; security and information systems; legal liability for website content; failure of third parties to provide adequate service; future internet-related taxes; our founder’s control of us; litigation; consumer trends; the effect of government regulation and programs; the impact of public health threats; our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and technical accounting; and other risks and uncertainties included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution you that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which reflect our views only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking information.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  in the United States of America (GAAP), the financial information included in this release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and results calculated in accordance with GAAP, including net income, and reconciliations to GAAP financial statements should be carefully evaluated.  Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for interest payments, and less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Gaia’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, Gaia’s calculation of Free Cash Flow might not necessarily be comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
