Paltalk Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

Reports Profitableand Cash Flow Positive Quarter


JERICHO, NY, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Paltalk, Inc., formerly known as PeerStream, Inc. (“Paltalk,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) (OTCQB: PALT), a leading communications software innovator that powers multimedia social applications, today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:


During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company executed key components of its business objectives, which resulted in the following:

achieved net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 by growing subscription<br>revenue compared to the same period last year and by executing on our streamlined operating plan, which eliminated costs associated<br>with our secure communications business headcount;
active subscribers increased by approximately 2.0% compared to the second quarter of 2019 and<br>increased approximately 1.7% as compared to the previous three months ended March 31, 2020;
--- ---
subscription revenue increased by 5.3% compared to the same period last year and increased by<br>21.1% compared to the previous quarter;
--- ---
decreased our operating expenses through a streamlined plan of operations by $1.6 million, or<br>36.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019;
--- ---
in connection with the commercial launch of YouNow Inc.’s (“YouNow”)<br>Props tokens on our Camfrog application, the Company received 7.0 million Props tokens in May 2020 (3.0 million of which were received<br>upon signing the agreement and 4.0 million of which were received upon launching YouNow’s Props platform on Camfrog) and<br>recognized a corresponding $112 thousand of technology services revenue; and
--- ---
in July 2020 we completed the sale of our secure communications business for an aggregate purchase<br>price of $250 thousand, which provides for future revenue share potential of up to an additional $0.5 million, allowing the Company<br>to participate in the upside of that business without losing focus on its core application business.
--- ---

Liquidity and Capital Resources


achieved positive net cash flow of approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June<br>30, 2020, an improvement of $2.9 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, and positive cash flow from operations<br>of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of $3.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30,<br>2019;
cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.4 million at June 30, 2020; and
--- ---
obtained a $0.5 million Payroll Protection Program loan under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.
--- ---

“I am pleased to report that we executed as we planned in the second quarter. By focusing primarily on our core business and operating under our new corporate name, Paltalk, Inc., we generated net income and positive cash flow. We accomplished this by increasing our active subscribers both year-over-year from the second quarter of last year and sequentially from the first quarter of 2020. This led to a 5% increase in subscription revenue during the second quarter, marking the first time in 11 quarters that we have achieved subscription revenue growth. We believe this growth reflects the safe and entertaining form of communication that our live video chat apps provide in these uncertain times, as well as the investments and enhancements we have been making over the last several months. By growing our subscription revenue and disposing of non-core assets and their associated costs, we have returned to the basic economics upon which the business was founded.

“We achieved both positive net income and net cash flow for the second quarter despite the termination of the ProximaX technology services contract that was signed in the second quarter of 2019, due in large part to a 36% year-over-year reduction in operating expenses that resulted from ongoing expense control and streamlining of our business. Looking ahead, we believe we have ample financial resources to implement our growth strategies. This includes the funds we received from the sale of our secure communications assets, which closed subsequent to the quarter end. With our strategic focus firmly on our core video apps, we believe that Paltalk, Inc. is well positioned for future growth,” commented Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of Paltalk, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measuresand Key Metrics


The Company has provided in this release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and other key metrics, including active subscribers and subscription bookings, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude net loss from discontinued operations, interest expense (income), net, other expense (income), net, gain on sale of dating applications, income tax expense from continuing operations, income tax benefit from discontinued operations, gain on office lease termination, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense. Active subscribers means users of the Company’s consumer applications that have prepaid a fee, redeemed credits or received an upgrade from another user as a gift for current unlocked application features such as enhanced voice and video access, elevated status in the community or unrestricted communication on our applications and whose subscription period has not yet expired. The Company calculates subscription bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized during the period.

Management uses these financial metrics internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these financial metrics in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes these financial metrics are useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation<br>and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our working capital requirements;
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the gain from the office lease cancellation;
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the gain on the sale of our dating applications or our loss or<br>income tax expense from discontinued operations; and
--- ---
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently,<br>which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
--- ---

Because of these limitations, you should consider these financial metrics along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
