Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Summary
For the third quarter ended March 31, 2011, SouthPeak reported net revenues of $16.1 million, compared with $7.5 million in the third quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in the number of units shipped in the fiscal 2011 period. Average net revenue per videogame unit sold increased 109%, from $14.09 to $29.47 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 gross profit increased to $8.3 million, or 52% of revenues, from $0.4 million, or 5% of revenues, in the comparable period in 2010.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased by 17% to $3.3 million, compared with $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, excluding the benefits from one-time gains related to the extinguishment or settlement of debt and other obligations. The decrease in operating expenses for the fiscal 2011 period was due primarily to a 49% reduction in general and administrative expenses to $1.4 million, compared with $2.7 million in the comparable prior year period. This reduction was offset in part by an increase in sales and marketing costs of 65% to $1.6 million from $1.0 million in the same period during fiscal 2010, which was directly attributable to the release of Two Worlds II.
GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $3.2 million, or $0.06 per share based on 57.4 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.004 per share, based on 45.3 million weighted average shares outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $4.9, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million in the prior fiscal year period.
