Hemisphere Media Group Announces Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

- Q3 Year-over-Year Net Revenues Increased 9.3%

- Q3 Year-over-Year Adjusted EBITDA Increased 7.2%

- Continued Solid Subscriber Growth

- Tightening Guidance to Mid-Teens Growth Rate for Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA

MIAMI — (November 9, 2015) — Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HMTV) (“Hemisphere” or the “Company”), the only publicly traded pure-play U.S. media company targeting the high growth Spanish-language television and cable networks business in the U.S. and Latin America, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Alan Sokol, CEO of Hemisphere, stated, “Our business performed very well in the third quarter, as we posted a 9.3% percent increase in net revenue and a 7.2% percent increase in Adjusted EBITDA.  It’s clear that our strategy to broadly deliver world-class video content to the growing U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets is working.  This is leading to strong growth in advertising revenues, as well as in retransmission and subscriber fees across our networks.  In particular, the subscriber growth that we achieved both in the quarter and over the course of the year demonstratively proves that our demographic and subscriber trends are far more favorable than those of the overall U.S. pay-TV environment.  In addition, during the quarter, we launched advertising on Cinelatino and are optimistic about the revenue opportunity that strategy presents over time.  Due to our strong results year-to-date, we are tightening our guidance range for the year to mid-teens growth rate for Adjusted EBITDA.”

On April 1, 2014, Hemisphere closed on the acquisition of three Spanish-language television networks—Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and Television Dominicana (the “Acquired Cable Networks”). Results of the Acquired Cable Networks are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date. The Company’s results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are comparable with the prior year period, however, the comparability of the Company’s results are affected for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net revenues increased $2.7 million, or 9.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, and increased $14.8 million, or 18.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  These increases, for both the three and nine month periods, were driven by growth in advertising revenues, and higher subscriber and retransmission fees, resulting from overall growth in subscribers and rate increases.  The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was also due to the inclusion of the Acquired Cable Networks, which were not included in the prior year’s first quarter.

Operating expenses were $23.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a slight increase as compared to operating expenses of $23.2 million for the comparable period in 2014. Operating expenses were $69.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 10.8% from operating expenses of $63.0 million in the comparable period. These increases, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, were driven primarily by increased investment in programming and higher sales and marketing costs, consistent with the Company’s previously stated strategy.  The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was also due to the inclusion of the Acquired Cable Networks, which were not included in the prior year’s first quarter.

Net income was $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $2.2 million, as compared to net income of $0.7 million for the same period in 2014.  Net income was $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $2.6 million, as compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA was $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 7.2%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 million for the same period in 2014.  Adjusted EBITDA was $41.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 21.2%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $34.0 million for the same period in 2014. These increases, in both the three and nine month periods, were due to growth in advertising revenues and subscriber and retransmission fees. The increase for the nine month period was also due to the inclusion of the Acquired Cable Networks, which were not included in the prior year’s first quarter.
