Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2020) - Destiny Media Technologies (TSXV: DSY) (OTCQB: DSNY), the makers of Play MPE, a cloud-based music distribution, collaboration and content discovery platform, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2020 second quarter ended February 29, 2020.
Highlights
Highlights for the quarter include:
- Play MPE launched in Canada starting with Universal Music Canada in late January;
- Play MPE platform improvements include sending side translations into Spanish, German, Japanese and French and recipient side improvements to song discovery and ease of use; and
- Play MPE business development group restructured including the hiring of a new director of business development.
Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Results
In the Company's slowest seasonal quarter ending February 29, 2020, Play MPE revenue fell by approximately $57,000, due to the timing of contract renewal negotiations. Global Play MPE independent label revenue continues to increase.
"During the quarter we started to see the results of investments into product development with two significant releases for the Play MPE platform." said Fred Vandenberg, Chief Executive Officer for Destiny Media Technologies. "Play MPE continues to be the most advanced platform and these releases will assist in the expansion of Play MPE into new markets. The Company saw a significant step during the quarter with the start of the expansion into Canada."
The Company commenced a stock repurchase program in September 2019, resulting in market purchases to April 12, 2020 of 550,140 shares (representing 5% of shares outstanding as of August 31, 2019) for a total cost of $533,223 USD.
