Leading News Organization ITN Extends Advertising Deal with blinkx Based on Proven Campaign Success




blinkx Selected to Power Advertising across ITN Website and Syndication Partner Sites




SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - July 2, 2008 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced that it has won an extension contract that will augment the scope of its advertising partnership with ITN, one of the world's leading news and multimedia content companies. Under the terms of the new agreement, ITN will use AdHoc, blinkx's patented contextual advertising platform for online TV and video, to serve advertisements on the ITN website and its syndication partner sites, including Bebo.




Through AdHoc, ITN has already been effectively monetizing its premium news content on the blinkx.com network for over six months. During this time, ITN achieved a significantly better return, greater search volume, and higher monetization through blinkx than through other syndication partners.




AdHoc uses blinkx's patented speech-to-text transcription and visual analysis technology to understand video content more thoroughly and effectively than any other service today, and can therefore dynamically place the most pertinent advertising against it. The AdHoc platform offers media companies and advertisers a unique value proposition -- video advertising which combines the emotive power of TV promotion, with the relevance and utility of contextual search advertising.




The confluence of ITN's premium TV content, blinkx's extensive syndication network, and AdHoc's uniquely powerful targeting capabilities was a formula for success. By extending its partnership with blinkx, ITN aims to achieve similar returns by leveraging the AdHoc platform to deliver contextually relevant video advertising on its own website and across its distribution partner sites.




'We're thrilled to be broadening our relationship with ITN,' said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. 'News content is one of the most popular categories of online video and there's clearly a tremendous opportunity for monetization. The success of our partnership with ITN is evidence that the blinkx AdHoc platform is a uniquely powerful solution for online video advertising today.'




'We've been delighted with the results of our partnership with blinkx and are looking forward to implementing the AdHoc technology on our site,' said Nicholas Wheeler, managing director, ITN On. 'blinkx AdHoc has proven that it can achieve significant monetization of our content, effective marketing for advertisers and, most importantly, a useful, non-disruptive experience for our audience.'




As a pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the most effective way to search new forms of online content such as video. With more than 350 partners and 26 million hours of indexed video and audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.

blinkx has warned that its expects to book an operating loss of the first half of the year as early second quarter trading has been below forecasts.

The group says management has taken decisive steps to manage its cost structure to reflect the changing revenue and profitability profile of its product mix, and expects a return to profitability, as its core products continue to ramp and offset declines in non-core products.

An update says: "As outlined during its FY2015 full-year results, H12016 has been a period of integration and investment for blinkx. In summary, the company began to rationalise its operations and product portfolio and accelerated investments in its ('core') strategic capabilities of Mobile, Video and Programmatic Trading."

The company says it also began to refactor, divest and exit historical product lines that are considered ('non-core') to future growth, including certain Desktop products, services and technologies, which continue to decline.

It adds: "Based on preliminary results, performance for the first quarter of FY2016 was in line with expectations, led by strong growth in core revenues.

"However, early second quarter trading has been below expectations to date and the company now expects an operating loss in H12016.

"Management has taken decisive steps to manage the group's cost structure to reflect the changing revenue and profitability profile of its product mix, and expects a return to profitability, as its core products continue to ramp and offset declines in non-core products."

blinkx expects its first half results to be in line with forecasts with revenues of approximately $90m; with over 65% from Core products.

The group expects to reports an adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $7m and to have cash and cash equivalents of at least $82m.

An update says: "As highlighted in the announcement dated 24 August 2015, H12016 has been a period of integration and investment for blinkx. The company began to rationalize its operations and product portfolio and accelerated investments in its Core strategic capabilities of Mobile, Video and Programmatic Trading.

"Of note, the Company formally launched its unified programmatic platform, and successfully integrated with a number of dominant programmatic demand and supply partners. Programmatic revenues have continued to grow throughout the Period, in line with management estimates."

The company will publish its results for the six months to the end of September on 17 November.

blinkx reports an adjusted net loss of $13.4m for the six months to the end of September - up from $5.6m a year ago.

Revenue totalled $91.4 million, compared with $106.0 million in revenue reported for the half year ended September 2014 (H12015). The company saw strong revenue growth in its Core products including Programmatic, mobile and video ad formats, which accounted for 69% of the overall H12016 revenues versus 43% in H12015.

Adjusted EBITDA for H12016 was ($6.8) million compared with adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million for H12015. Adjusted loss from operations for H1 2016 was $13.1 million compared with an adjusted loss from operations of $3.5 million for H1 2015.

The reduction in profitability was caused by a decline in Non-Core revenues, an increase in the cost of traffic acquisition, primarily due to the shift in the competitive environment and changing product mix. The total expense base for H1 2016 was $104.5 million compared with $109.5 million for H1 2015.

Cost of revenues of $55.3 million increased to 60.5% of revenues compared with 53.5% last year. The increase was driven by a shift in product mix and an increase in premium inventory costs, which is affecting the entire industry. Operating expenses of $49.2 million decreased from $52.8 million year-on-year, driven primarily by cost reduction initiatives and additional operational improvements during the period, offset by incremental operating costs associated with the acquisitions.

Chief executive S. Brian Mukherjee said: "During the period, the company continued to pursue its transformation strategy - investing in the Core product areas of mobile, video and Programmatic trading, which continue to demonstrate strong growth within the sector. This was coupled with an effort to defocus or exit historical product lines that are considered Non-Core to future growth, including certain Desktop products, services and technologies.

"Integration - of people, platforms and processes - has been a top priority during the period and an important driver of operational efficiency and standardisation across the company. The recent acquisitions we completed have effectively aligned with our transformation and growth focus. During the Period, we streamlined operations, shifted investments and resources to drive Core product growth, and aligned our engineering, product, sales and operations teams around the company's unified RhythmOne offering, led by mobile, video and Programmatic capabilities.

"The steps we took over the past year, including key acquisitions and investments, have been critical to the Company's transformation. Core product revenues grew by 37% year-on-year - a clear indicator that Company strategy is aligned with market shifts and growth trends. Looking forward, we anticipate Core products to gain further traction, as we focus our efforts to return to profitability."

This is sitting on a major support level and about to fall to a 5 1/2 year low.

Nice to see this up 30% today. ... long may it continue. .

blinkx expects to reports adjusted losses before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $10m-$11m for the year ended 31 March on revenues of $165m-$170m.

The company said it generated over $75m in new revenue in the period, and achieved profitability in the third Quarter, followed by anticipated fourth quarter seasonality.

Simultaneously, the company accelerated its planned drawdown of non-core product lines, which now constitute approximately 30% of total revenues - compared with over 50% in FY2015.

Programmatic revenues grew 66%, with programmatic and video now constituting over 50% of total revenues, across desktop and mobile devices.

Chief executive S. Brian Mukherjee said, "FY2016 has been a transformational year for the Industry and the company. We believe that we now have the technology, talent and relationships in place to scale both organic and inorganic growth as the Industry continues to evolve and consolidate. Through strong cost discipline and a strategic focus on Core mobile, video and programmatic products we are now well aligned with broader structural market trends."

blinkx is changing its name to RhythmOne plc. This move follows a transformational year for blinkx, which undertook a broad restructuring to focus on its core capabilities of mobile, video and programmatic trading - in line with key industry trends.

blinkx launched the RhythmOne brand in FY2015 as the company's trade entity, encompassing the go-forward product strategy and commercial proposition for the company. Transitioning to the new name aligns the Company's overarching brand with dominant commercial and Industry growth drivers. Chief executive Brian Mukherjee said: "Our transition to the RhythmOne name comes at a pivotal and exciting time for the Company. It underscores the significant integration and transformation efforts we have undertaken and reflects our Core focus on mobile, video and programmatic trading - the fastest growing segments within online advertising.

"With a unique combination of technology, talent and relationships in place, RhythmOne is poised to scale both organic and inorganic growth as the Industry continues to evolve and consolidate. We are enthusiastic about the promise FY2017 holds, and the opportunity to make RhythmOne a stand-out leader in the digital advertising landscape." The company's name will change to RhythmOne plc upon registration at Companies House and trading in the company's ordinary shares under the new name is anticipated to commence with effect from tomorrow (17 June). The company's London Stock Exchange Tradable Instrument Display Mnemonic ("TIDM") will change to RTHM. The company's ISIN and SEDOL numbers for the ordinary shares will remain unchanged.

Something strange going on. Since the name change a few days back, the price is up over 20%
Still down of course by nearly 90% from its peak, but it would be good to know why it is now suddenly on the up!
