WWE Release Third Quarter Results

WWE issued the following press release earlier today:

WWE® Reports 2014 Third Quarter Results
Exceeds Earnings Expectations and Raises 2014 Outlook

STAMFORD, Conn., October 30, 2014 - WWE (NYSE:WWE) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014. For the quarter, the Company reported a Net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to Net income of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter last year. Excluding items affecting comparability, Adjusted OIBDA was $5.1 million and Adjusted Net loss was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share in the current year quarter, compared to Adjusted OIBDA of $16.7 million and adjusted Net income of $7.0 million, or $0.09 per share, in the prior year quarter.

"During the quarter, we delivered stronger financial performance than anticipated and surpassed our guidance while making significant progress on the execution of our WWE Network strategy," stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "To capitalize on the substantial opportunity created by WWE Network, it's time to remove
all the barriers to those that want WWE. We are excited to introduce a new simplified price plan at $9.99 per month and like Netflix with no commitment/cancel anytime. This reflects our belief in the broad appeal of WWE Network content. Additionally, we continue to develop the international platform for WWE Network and plan to make the network available in the U.K. on an OTT basis in November. WWE Network continues to be the single greatest opportunity to transform WWE's business model and we remain optimistic about our potential to drive long-term growth."

"As we expanded WWE Network to 731,000 subscribers, our Adjusted OIBDA of $5.1 million surpassed our guidance, which indicated an Adjusted OIBDA loss ranging from $10 million to $15 million with an average of 723,000 subscribers. Given our performance in the quarter, we have improved our 2014 Adjusted OIBDA outlook ranges by approximately $15 million to $20 million," added George Barrios, Chief Strategy & Financial Officer. "Key metrics
continued to show strength. Raw and SmackDown TV ratings increased 2% and 3%, respectively. WWE's social media presence has increased 71% to over 420 million followers. In addition, revenue from the Company's seven new key television agreements is expected to increase from approximately $130 million in 2014 to approximately $235 million in 2018, providing over $100 million of revenue growth subject to counterparty risks."

WWE Financials Announced This Week

 WWE will release their Q3 financials on Thursday morning. The information will include the number WWE Network subscribers. The Q2 financials revealed that the company had 700,000 subscribers. Since then, the WWE has expanded the network internationally to over 100 countries. All indications from WWE and from financial experts are that WWE needs to average 1.1 million subscribers in 2015 to maintain an equal cash flow. If they were to average 1.4 million for the year, they would be able to attain the profitability of the pre-WWE Network days

Opinionated View- Get ready as I think we are in for another week of WWE stock bottoming out. And maybe even more lawsuits and sadly some talent will get cut.

WWE Stock Drops After CNBC Segment

The Street is featuring an article about WWE stock dropping 4.84% on Tuesday after Nathaniel August (founder of hedge fund Mangrove Partners) made an appearance on CNBC. August believes nearly all of WWE's future profitability relies on the success of the WWE Network and that WWE would "earn nothing at a corporate level" if the subscriber base remained at the figure it was last reported at (700,000). He added that the firm doesn't believe WWE will double that subscriber base when new figures are revealed next week.
