Robert Steele, Rightscorp President and COO commented, “During the first quarter we demonstrated our successful execution in increasing copyrights under representation, ingestion of our authorized copyright catalog, and the number of ISPs that help monetize our business through settlements. We remained focused on strengthening our balance sheet and repaid a portion of our convertible notes and notes payable. Organically our top line grew 63% which we are extremely proud to report as we believe this shows our ability to generate consistent sustainable revenue growth.”

Rightscorp CEO Christopher Sabec, added, “As an industry leader in combating copyright infringement in the entertainment space, we continue to seek ways to preserve digital assets that include movies, TV, games and software and protect those who create and own intellectual property. We have taken imperative steps to execute on such key initiatives, which include striking deals with copyright owners to represent and collect on their digital media assets, collaborating with ISPs to support our vision and effectively monetizing and paying our clients their fair share. We have built an impressive track record and in two short years, we have successfully closed over 200,000 cases of copyright infringement, are working with over 233 ISPs in the United States, and represent more than 1.5 million copyrights. More and more, the entertainment press is starting to feature several front page stories related to piracy and we have been approached to serve as experts in this subject matter. Rightscorp provides a key line of defense for intellectual property in today’s environment of content piracy and cyber-attack and we anticipate a higher demand for our solution in the coming months.”

First Quarter 2015 Financial Summary

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $307,904, up 63% from $188,933 in the same period last year. Sequentially, revenues rose 27% from $241,928 in the fourth quarter of 2014. The growth in revenues were driven by the Company’s ability to increase the number of copyrights under contract, active copyrights ingested into Rightscorp’s automated system growing to more than 250,000 and by the growing number of ISPs participating in the Company’s service, creating a multiplier effect.

Rightscorp incurred operating expenses of $1,237,672 for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $829,389 for prior-year quarter. Part of the increase in expenses was due to increased fees paid to copyright holders in the period. General and administrative expenses were $1,052,867 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $692,015 for the year-ago quarter, due to increased wages, professional and investment banking fees, and legal costs.

Sales and marketing costs were $1,497 for the first quarter of 2015, from $31,308 for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to the Company’s growing market presence and reputation with the copyright holders lowering the costs for marketing this quarter. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $29,356 during quarter ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $17,757 compared to $11,599 in the year-ago quarter.
