Quarterly key performance indicators
Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken-word audio on-demand
mobile platform, provides an update on its key performance
indicators (KPIs) for the Company's third financial quarter from
June to end-August:
Content partners - 766 new content channels were added during
the quarter, resulting in a total of over 6,000 content channels at
the period end. In addition to the major partnership with Cumulus
Media, the second largest radio group in the US (as announced on 2
July 2015) - which has to date provided approximately 200 active
channels with more than a 1,000 channels to follow in the coming
quarter as our roll out progresses - other recent notable new
content partners from around the globe include Associated Press,
NBA Podcasts, US Open Tennis, Yahoo! Sports, News International
(The Sun and The Times), Virgin EMI, Eros International, Cricket
Australia, the Netball World Cup, Newcastle United and West Ham
United football clubs. There were approximately 2,500 active
content partners(1) during the period.
(1) Active content partners are those who have posted content
during the quarterly period. A content partner may have a number of
content channels.
Registered users - over 4.3 million at the end of August, with
approximately 300,000 new registered users signing up in the
quarter. Encouragingly, many of these registered users were added
organically, as the Company reduced its marketing spend heavily
during the quieter summer months and is also focusing resources on
the B2B platform expansion.
App downloads - over 870,000 total mobile app installs during
the quarter (Android and iOS), again driven through organic growth
due to reduced direct marketing.
As stated previously, the number of "listens" (that is, the
number of times users consume Audioboom content through the
website, the iOS and Android apps, and via the embeddable content
players) is an important metric for AudioBoom, as it is the sole
driver of advertising revenue. Although this is not currently a
formal, reported KPI, the Company would expect to introduce it as
such for the next financial year. Total listens for the quarter
exceeded 85 million (a new record), taking the total lifetime
listens for Audioboom content comfortably past the 600 million
mark.
Audioboom CEO, Rob Proctor, commented: "At this stage in the
Company's life and with the growing focus on revenue generation,
one of the key metrics is the addition of quality content partners
to the platform, as this directly drives our listens and
advertising inventory. Therefore I am obviously delighted with the
numbers for new content channels and listens during the quarter and
I am excited about our projected growth as the impact of more
Cumulus radio stations joining the platform is realised.
"The team here at Audioboom are doing a tremendous job of
executing our strategy and I believe that we are well on the way to
becoming the pre-eminent digital audio platform."
