Gaia Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
Revenues up 28%, Achieves Positive Earnings and Cash Flow
BOULDER, CO, November 9, 2020 — Gaia, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a conscious media and community company, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Third Quarter 2020 Highlights vs. Same Year-Ago Quarter
|
|
▪ |
28% increase in revenues |
|
|
▪ |
Generated positive earnings and cash flow |
|
|
▪ |
Reduced outstanding debt to $4.0 million from $17.0 million |
“The results for the third quarter reflect the attainment of our goal to generate positive earnings and cash flows while sustaining a revenue growth rate above 20%,” said Paul Tarell, Gaia’s CFO. “We have reached the inflection point for the business after six quarters of disciplined execution and expect to continue to generate positive earnings and cash flows while driving top line growth.”
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenues in the third quarter increased 28% to $17.5 million from $13.7 million in the year-ago quarter. This was primarily due to growth in members and an increase in average revenue per member. Paying members increased to 697,300 as of September 30, 2020 with net member additions for the quarter of 33,900.
Gross profit in the third quarter increased 29% to $15.3 million compared to $11.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin increased to 87.1% versus 86.8% in the year-ago quarter.
Total operating expenses in the third quarter decreased 6% to $14.9 million from $15.8 million in the year-ago quarter, which improved operating expenses to 85% of revenues from 115% of revenues in the year-ago quarter. This reduction is due to continued efficiency improvements in fixed operating expenses and reducing customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue to 41% from 49% in the year-ago quarter.
Net income in the third quarter was $6.3 million or $0.33 per share and included a $6.1 million gain on the sale of a portion of Gaia’s corporate campus as announced on September 9, 2020. Excluding this gain, net income was $0.2 million or $0.01 per share, which improved significantly from a loss of $4.1 million or $(0.23) per share in the year ago quarter.
EBITDA improved significantly to $3.4 million compared to $(1.4) million in the year-ago quarter and increased $2.6 million sequentially.
Gaia generated cash from operations of $7.2 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to cash used of $5.9 million in the comparable year-ago period, an improvement of $13.1 million.
The transition to cash generation during the quarter was completed as expected, with an overall increase in Gaia’s cash balance of $0.3 million compared to a decrease of $5.8 million in the year ago quarter.
As of September 30, 2020, Gaia had $8.7 million in cash and reduced its outstanding debt to $4.0 million from $17.0 million.

EBITDA represents net loss before interest expense, provision for income taxes, other income, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to remove share-based compensation expense. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.
Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures, tax payments and debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures.
